When we all were in school we were taught about our five senses : Sight, Smell, Hearing, Taste and Touch

Sensory Learning is essentially the ability to incorporate different senses either alone or in combination to heighten and reinforce the learning process.

Visual Learners :  Learn best by seeing and processing information in a visual way. They literally learn and see in pictures.

Auditory Learners :  They learn best through verbal communication or listening with their ears.  Auditory learning is the overwhelmingly dominant basis for much of the learning that we do in school.

Kinesthetic Learners : Learn best with the hands on full experience learning. They learn by moving, touching and experiencing things in the first person.  They frequently are very physically expressive and active - not the method most frequently appreciated in most school settings. 

Sensory Learning Programs - S.T.E.P.

The Sensory Training and Education Program (S.T.E.P.) is a specialized accelerated sensory integration therapy for children with Autism, Sensory Integration Disorders, ADD/ADHD and some specific types of Learning Challenges. Through the simultaneous stimulation of the three main sensory systems - Visual, Auditory and Vestibular (balance & body awareness)-the S.T.E.P. process helps to "re-educate" the brain in how to properly receive, process, and effectively integrate the sensory messages it's receiving.
