Every child is different from one another, including the ways they learn. Some children are visual learners, preferring pictures and spatial understanding. Others are aural learners who prefer using sound and music. Some children are verbal learners who prefer using words, both speech and writing. And others are physical (kinesthetic) learners who like using their body, hands, and sense of touch to learn.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Punam Desormes, a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 15 years of experience and a faculty clinical instructor in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Central Florida. Her experience includes working in a private multidisciplinary clinic, a special needs school for autism, and private practice.

Today, Punam is breaking down the different ways children learn and explaining what we (parents) need to know and look for when it comes to our children’s learning. Understanding how our children learn can help us create better learning activities to help their minds grow. Punam has seen and worked with many families and shares her tips and expert knowledge with us.

Here are some links that Punman mentioned during our episode. We hope these help!
