Introduction

Would you be able to watch your favorite cartoon without being able to see or hear?

Would you be able to enjoy your favorite food without being able to taste or smell?

What if you were unable to feel the softness of your favorite blanket or stuffed animal?

We use our five senses (taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing) to explore the world around us. Our senses send signals about our surroundings to our brain. The brain processes the signals so that we can learn about our world and make decisions.
