Touch, How We Learn & What We Can Learn by Using Our Sense of Touch to Explore

Pupils with PMLD access the world around by using their senses. As a result, we then need to teach them using a sensory curriculum. They need to engage in hands on experiences. Touch is one area of a sensory curriculum. Through this course, Sarah will share information about touch. We can learn so much by using our sense of touch. However, some of our pupils may be inhibited by physical limitations, cognitive levels or sensory impairment. Tactile defensiveness may be physiological or psychological. Sarah includes ideas for activities to try in order for our pupils to be engaged in activities meaningful to them.
