Touch in Teaching and Learning

April 9, 2025

Dr. Susan Bruce, Professor Emerita, Boston College

Dr. Susan Bruce recently joined us to talk about the importance of touch in teaching and learning with students who are deafblind. In this presentation, we learned about tactile perception and the connection between touch and emotions, considered tactile sensitivities, learned about engaging in respectful touch and the role of touch in attention and learning, and learned about bodily-tactile communication.
