Abstract

The pandemic impacts children's physical and mental health, and children are now experiencing increased mental health and physical challenges as a result of COVID-19. This chapter presents Universal Design for Learning as a framework for curriculum reform that will improve children's learning experiences and enable more effective planning towards a more inclusive and interactive education method in early childhood education settings. This chapter focuses on a pilot study employing a mixed-methods design that explored how an innovative UDL model—interactive multi-sensory physical movements (IMPM)—was implemented in a kindergarten in Canada. This research is an evidence-based ongoing interdisciplinary study that highlights this new model with the aim of incurring long term benefits for children, parents, and ECE professionals. This research will also benefit the international ECE industry, scholars, researchers, and informed policy makers.
