One of the latest teaching techniques being used to day is the Multisensory Teaching Method. This is a technique that is used for the very young elementary years such as kindergarten and pre-school ages. Multisensory learning is a great tool that has been used on many ADHD and ADD students as well.

Multisensory is a teaching that seeks to combine the auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. The activity is meant to stimulate the hearing, the sight, and the touch as a means of learning.

Some types of the work activity should center on finger painting; play dough, 3 dimensional letters and numbers. The activity simply has to have the capacity to touch the three senses.

The idea is to keep all of these sense stimulated and the child will be more able to absorb the material that needs to be learned. It actually gives deeper comprehension aptitude to the child. Teaching should always be organized in a way that maximizes the child’s consumption of material.

As other methods begin to simply make educators more aware of the areas of weakness among their students, multisensory will be a technique that can help close the gap assuring that all types of learners will be equipped to adapt to new material.
