Developing your sensory skills can help you learn, communicate, and stay safe. Sensory skills include the ability to see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. These skills help us understand the world around us.
Good sensory skills help us learn by letting us see and hear what our teachers are saying. We can read books and see what is happening in them. We can touch things to feel what they are like. We can smell and taste different foods.
Good sensory skills also help us communicate. We can hear what other people are saying and speak so others can hear us. We can see each other’s body language. We can use touch to show care and affection.
Finally, sensory skills can also help keep us safe. We can hear fire alarms and sirens to know when we need to get to safety. We can see things that might be dangerous and avoid them. We can feel heat to know when something is too hot to touch.
It is important to take care of our sensory skills by eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and protecting our eyes and ears from loud noises and bright lights. By doing so, we can use our senses to learn, communicate, and stay safe.
