3 INTRODUCTION Children’s ways of learning are as different as the colors of the rainbow. Some grasp information best by reading, while others learn better through listening or discovering concepts through hands on experience. Educators need to assess their students’ learning needs in ways which will provide a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses. An understanding of the ways that the students learn is the door to educational improvement.

4 In 1983, Howard Gardner, a noted Harvard psychologist and educator theorized that there are multiple intelligences that dictate how children process and understand information. According to him, all individuals possess, exhibit and perceive the world in eight different and equally important ways but in a varying amount and combine and use them in different ways.

9 MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE AND CHILDREN WITH LOW VISION Though we all learn through our five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste but the bulk of learning is through sight and hearing. To learn well we must be able to harness these faculties, especially that of sight for maximum learning capacity and capability. For the children who lost their vision might not have difference pattern of development and it depends on the residual senses they possess. This theory would be of immense help to children with low vision in learning.
