What does multisensory stimulation target in children and adolescents?

Multisensory stimulation targets multiple intelligences by engaging various sensory modalities to enhance learning and development. This approach recognizes that individuals have different strengths and ways of processing information. By incorporating visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic experiences, multisensory activities cater to a diverse range of learning preferences and intelligences, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, and interpersonal skills.

This holistic method can foster greater engagement and retention of information, as it appeals to the ways students naturally learn and interact with their environment. It is particularly beneficial for children and adolescents with different learning styles or those who may struggle in traditional learning environments, as it provides a more inclusive and effective educational experience.
