The five senses play a much larger role than simply seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling and smelling. Encouraging use of these senses can help children with sensory problems, speech impediments or other disabilities feel more comfortable in their skin while learning and communicating. The benefits of these senses encouraged the Medical Center Foundation to raise funds for a sensory garden at Northeast Georgia Speech Center.
