8.Based on your readings from the chapter and from the two videos answer the questions below.
UDL relies on 3 considerations: offering multiple ways for children to access or engage with materials and information (engagement); offering multiple ways for children to represent their ideas (representation); and multiple ways for children to express what they know (action and expression). Using the examples and information from the chapter, the link, and the videos as a guide, what is one area of your play space or one activity that you could modify using the 3 aspects of UDL? How could you ensure that children with a variety of abilities or needs could participate with the materials or activity? Describe your ideas for providing multiple ways for children to get engaged, to share their ideas, and to express themselves.
