Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
• An educational framework based on research in the
learning sciences, including cognitive neuroscience, that
guides the development of flexible learning environments
that can accommodate individual learning differences.
• Designs curriculum around learner variability from the
beginning rather than accommodating disabilities
retrospectively.

What is Universal Design for Learning?
• UDL is a framework that provides ALL students equal
opportunities to learn.
• UDL encourages teachers to design flexible curricula that
meet the needs of all learners.
• UDL is used in general education classrooms to make
curriculum and instruction accessible and engaging.

Environmental Considerations
• Classroom arrangement – Provide a variety of spaces, but make
sure you can see everyone all the time. Avoid putting things too
close together. Some centers can be combined if needed.
• Classroom décor – Sometimes less is more. Some students can be
overstimulated by a “busy” room.

Environmental Considerations• Lighting – Try using natural light and lamps instead of harsh
overhead lights.
• Sensory issues – Make yourself aware of the surroundings – Too
loud? Too crowded? – “Visit” your centers on the students’ level.

English Language Arts
30
• Make sure the material is on the child’s comprehension
level. For example, if he does not understand a drawing,
use a photograph.
• For students with limited verbal skills, try a choice board
or voice output device.
• Reply to a non-verbal child just as you would if he had
verbalized, using repetition and extension.
![Page 31: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
English Language Arts
• Interactive books provide a way to
practice language skills.
• Purposefully implement language in
lessons.
31

Science
• Provide ample opportunities for students to practice with
the tools.

Mathematics
• Allow students to use technology to “recite” numbers.
• Provide alternative ways to write numbers, such as using
a variety of writing materials, using shaving cream or
sand to write, or writing with a finger on a zip top bag of
paint.
48
![Page 49: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Approaches to Learning
• Provide games/activities in centers that require more
than one person to complete.
49
![Page 50: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Approaches to Learning
(Continued)
• Strategically place highly motivating items in close
proximity to encourage students to play “near” if they are
not ready to play together.
• Display photos of participants in turn-taking order for
small-group game play.
• Program a switch at a learning center for student to invite
another to play with them.
50
![Page 51: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Approaches to Learning
• Provide 2 picture cards to student and allow him to choose
which activity he would like to do.
• Use individualized icons for students to place at the center
they choose. When center sign is “full”, students have to find
another center.
51
![Page 52: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Approaches to Learning
• Program a switch for students to press to ask for help in specific
areas of the classroom where assistance is often needed.
• Teach students how to “interrupt” appropriately.
• Provide students with a “Help” card to give to an adult or peer
when they need assistance.
• Teach students the sign for help. https://youtu.be/ziypTZ7HGR4

Social and Emotional Development
• Consider direct instruction in social skills.
• Role-play specific situations before they occur and
reference your practice when situations actually arise.
• Provide visual cues around the room.
53
![Page 54: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Social and Emotional Development
• Provide a calm
space in the
classroom and teach
children to use it
appropriately.
54
![Page 55: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Social and Emotional Development
• Provide visual supports for expectations, procedures, and
routines.

Social Studies
• Practice with visuals such as sequencing cards made
with photos of students.
• Try sequencing activities from that day or the previous
day to get students used to the idea, then move on to
more difficult sequences.
56
![Page 57: PreK Strategies](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b9b791cc6bf38b33a6daa/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Physical Development
• Play games that require use of fine-motor skills.
• Use tongs/tweezers to pick up manipulatives during math
activities.
• Put writing materials in centers that vary in size/shape.
