The possibilities are endless with the effect wheels, a few props and a bit of imagination and you can be anywhere.

TACTILE LEARNING

The sense of touch keeps us in contact with our surroundings, it is one of our modes of communication. The average person touches 300 different surfaces every 30 minutes.The average person with a profound disability will likely touch 1-5 surfaces in the same time frame.

AUDITORY SENSES

The hearing senses provides us with the details about the sounds we hear such as volume, pitch, rhythm and tone. This can be done through Musical therapy.

AROMATIC SENSES

The sense of smell is very powerful and we use this sense all the time, we can identify many things by their smells and we develop strong memories associated with smells.
