Hello peers,

Our special senses help emphasize certain factors in our everyday lives. For instance, walking into bath and body works you use your smell to choose the fragrance you like. Unknowingly though when choosing the fragrance we are using our senses to naviagte through the store to pick up perfumes & lotions all while reading signs and labels for each section were going towards. We even use our ears to listen to the workers about sales and specials.

Although, without them life is not horrible it is just different and we adust to each one in various ways. Without sight we use braille, canes and depend on our other senses such as; touch. Without hearing we use sign language and reading (visuals) to describe things such as movies.

Hi [Classmate's Name],

I really enjoyed your post about the importance of our special senses and how they shape our experiences, especially in everyday situations like shopping. It’s fascinating how we often take these senses for granted, yet they play such a crucial role in how we interact with the world around us.

You made a great point about how we adapt when one of our senses is diminished. I think it’s inspiring to see how technology and community support help those with sensory impairments lead fulfilling lives—like how apps can assist those with visual impairments navigate stores or how captions and audio descriptions allow those who are hard of hearing to enjoy movies.

What are your thoughts on how societal awareness and accessibility can improve for those with sensory limitations? I believe that with more understanding, we can create environments where everyone can fully participate, regardless of their sensory abilities.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,
[Your Name]
