There are some visible and some invisible senses in the human body. The visible senses include eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin and the invisible ones include vestibular input, proprioceptive input and interoceptive input. From the point of view of training for language development, visual senses are suitable. These senses are known as sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. These five senses play an important role in the process of language development. According to a research by LD Rosenblum and his colleagues - "We acquire 83.0% knowledge by seeing, 11.0% by listening, 3.5% by smelling, 1.05% by touching and 1.0% by tasting." In language development, it is more beneficial to use multi-sensory approach instead of uni-sensory approach. In children whose more than one sense organ is used, language development occurs at a greater and faster pace. It also depends on the fact that which sensory organ of a child is damaged to what extent. Because of ach sensory organ has a more or less separate role in language development. There are some children who have loss of one or more senses. Such children may fall under the category of disability. One category of disability is hearing impairment. Hearing impaired children have very poor language development due to their hearing loss. Hearing impaired children need training of all other senses along with training of the sense of hearing. That is, if instead of single-sense training, multi-sense training is given, the language development can happen in a better way. Many practical techniques are used for training the senses for language development in hearing impaired children.
