Tactile FIE for Learners with ADHD
Individuals with ADHD often struggle with processing excessive amounts of information, leading to difficulty accurately receiving and processing information. Tactile IE provides a solution by utilizing touch and movement to help retrain the brain to systematically and logically explore, structure, and process information. This is achieved by creating mental images and comparing them to pre-existing images, which enhances cognitive abilities such as exploration, logical reasoning, and hypothetical thinking. Ultimately, this approach fosters more structured and efficient learning processes.
Tactile IE for Learners with Visual Impairments
Individuals with visual impairments often have a limited understanding of the world from a sighted person’s perspective. This is particularly true for those who are visually impaired from birth, as their ability to process and comprehend objects and ideas is also affected.
.Feuerstein’s Tactile Instrumental Enrichment is an excellent way to boost visually impaired students’ cognitive and learning abilities. This approach employs raised images and shapes and Feuerstein MLE (Mediated Learning Experience) to provide practical tools for developing learning skills.
