In our learning difficulties section we have adapted a multi-sensory approach to learning which is also a part of the Montessori Method.
Multisensory techniques are frequently used for students with Learning Difficulties (LD) Multisensory teaching techniques and strategies stimulate learning by engaging students on multiple levels. They encourage students to use some or all of their senses to:
Gather information about a task
Link information to ideas they already know and understand
Perceive the logic involved in solving problems
Learn problem-solving steps
Tap into nonverbal reasoning skills
Understand relationships between concepts
Learn information and store it for later recall
Multisensory techniques enable students to use their personal areas of strength to help them learn.
