4. The Learning Process
Step 1: Input of Information
Step 2: Organization of
Information
Step 3: Expression of

5. Six modalities or channels through which information is received:
Auditory Modality
Visual Modality
Tactile Modality
Kinesthetic Modality
Gustatory Modality
Olfactory Modality

6. Multisensory Approaches
The input of information through a variety of receptive mechanisms, i.e., seeing, hearing, touching, etc.

7. Processes that comprise the learning process
Reception
Perception
Association or organization
Memory
Expression

8. THE PURPOSE OF PERCEPTUAL EVALUATIONS
To help determine the child’s stronger and weaker modality for learning
To help determine a child’s stronger and weaker process areas
To develop a learning profile
To help determine if the child’s learning process deficits are suitable for a regular class
