What is Multi Sensory Learning

Research overwhelmingly suggests that students who have learning difficulties require a multi-sensory approach in order to help them understand concepts in Numeracy and Literacy. Multi Sensory means that all senses  (visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic (tactile)) pathways are used simultaneously in order to assist students in mastering language and mathematical concepts. Current research strongly suggests that learners who are struggling with elements of learning benefit greatly when they are taught explicitly, sequentially and systematically. As such, all Flying Colours programs start off relatively easy, to build a student’s confidence, and gradually gets more difficult as the student grows, gains success and begins to understand how English and Maths works. Our programs focus on gaps in knowledge. Our specialist teachers and therapists continually assess each student and varies the program according the each student’s knowledge. The therapist will continually re-teach concepts to ensure mastery is achieved. One of the best things about Multi-sensory learning is that it’s not only for people with a dyslexia or dyscalculia diagnosis. Multi-sensory learning assists all students who are struggling with reading, spelling, writing and numeracy.

At Flying Colours, multi-sensory learning instruction is conducted by highly qualified and experienced therapists who understand and recognise learning difficulties.
