A multisensory learning approach is a term many schools use to describe teaching methods that involve engaging more than one sense at a time.
Multisensory learning can be particularly helpful for students with learning disabilities and cognitive limitations who may have difficulty in one or more areas of education.
For example, a differently-abled student may have trouble processing visual information. This can make it challenging for them to learn and retain information through only reading and visual stimuli. Using other senses, such as tactile or auditory, these children can make a stronger connection with what they’re learning.
