Multisensory learning happens when more than one sense is
used to acquire and retain information. Learning is typically categorized into
three modes or types: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Multisensory learning is especially useful
for children diagnosed with a learning disability. While commonly
misunderstood, children with learning disabilities are actually of average
intelligence -a requirement to qualify for the disorder. These children just
have a processing deficit that interferes with their learning. By presenting
information in a multisensory way, it greatly assists children with acquiring
and retaining information, whether diagnosed with a learning disorder or not. I have assisted several students by using Touchmath which is a great way to teach addition and subtraction to students with special needs.
