People generally use more than one sense at a time. When your child eats a snack, she may look at her food, smell it, taste it, and use her hands to manipulate a spoon and bring the food to her mouth. She may hear sizzling noises if you are heating her snack, or listen to you describe the food or encourage her to use her spoon appropriately. Children with visual impairments and additional disabilities are often more apt to learn if we take a multisensory approach to providing them with experiences. Try to involve as many of your child's senses in an activity as possible so that she can absorb information in a variety of ways.
