Multimodal Instruction

Also known as: Multimodal Feedback, Multimodal Learning

An instructional approach that combines two or more sensory modalities - such as verbal narration, non-verbal sound, haptic or tactile feedback, and visual demonstration - to convey information. In accessibility, multimodal instruction is used to replace or supplement inaccessible channels: for example, pairing audio description with haptic cues and sonified movement helps blind and low vision learners perceive information that visual demonstrations alone would convey to sighted learners.
