Take a multi-sensory approach
Take a multi-sensory approach
- Present content in more than one way.
- Use digital technologies to create options for students.
- Create digital rather than only hard copy content and information. This enables students to personalise how they access. They can listen to it, add digital sticky notes, or sync it to online calendars and organise it in ways that work for them.
- Take a multisensory approach – use real experiences, physical activities, manipulables, photos, graphics and video alongside text or spoken content.
- Use blogs, wikis, and online tools such as Moodle to bring together different versions of content in one place (for example, a YouTube video, a graphic and some text).
- Turn on the closed captions on videos.
- Avoid using handouts or workbooks that can’t be adjusted.
- Make instructions, demonstrations, or key content rewindable and accessible 24/7.
