Abstract

Learners with Intellectual Disability (ID) are characterized by having limitations in cognitive functioning and skills. This inflicts a different kind of challenge to teachers who handle them. If teachers use effective teaching techniques and media, children or students with intellectual disabilities can develop effectively and some learning challenges can be addressed (Jiu, et. Al, 2020). The objective of this study is to explore the responses, improvements, and experiences of a learner with difficulty in remembering and concentrating and difficulty in hearing in learning letter sounds using Inclusive Multi-sensory Kit. Using a qualitative research approach specifically an instrumental case study, the responses, improvements, and experiences of the participant were analyzed through pictures, observation, interview, and thematic analysis. Using the Inclusive Multi-sensory Kit, the learners responses were positive. The learner acquired improvements in her phonemic awareness. She was able to have positive learning experiences and became open to new learning experiences through the Inclusive Multi-sensory Kit.
