Multisensory Educational Software

What is Multisensory Educational Software?
Multisensory educational software programs offer learning activities that engage multiple senses by including visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile elements in the learning process.  Ideally, multisensory software can capitalize on the learner's main sensory learning pathway while building learning capacities in the less dominant senses.  It has been shown that by using multiple senses when learning, information processing is facilitated.

What types of disabilities and learner characteristics are best supported by multisensory educational software?
*Students with dyslexia
*Students with dyscalculia
*Students with ADHD

What is a brand of multisensory educational software that is generally found in schools and that would be appropriate for Cabrini University students?

ModuMath software would benefit Cabrini students with math struggles including dyscalculia as well as students with reading difficulties who prefer verbal (vs. written) instruction.

Multisensory educational software tutorial information:

Cabrini DRC students can struggle with math classes.  ModuMath  for Algebra offers a multisensory learning experience that draws upon visual and auditory senses to provide a much more sensory based presentation. Students can see and hear how the work is done, repeat lessons, and adjust the learning pace to suit their own needs.
