As humans, we all have sensory and movement preferences. Sensory/motor preferences refer to how we each experience the world around us, what we like, and what we do not like. For some, these preferences highly impact how we live our day-to-day lives. For others, these preferences are merely good to know and help us be the best student, worker, friend, and family member we can be. Learning about how we each experience the world around us can help set us up for success not only in our online classroom environment, but in our community, at work, and pretty much everywhere else!
