Even People Who are Blind are Visual Learners

Everyone is a visual learner, even people who are blind.

While research the concept that everyone is a visual learner I came across this article about Daniel Kish who became blind as a toddler. He has learned how to see through using clicking sounds as a form of echolocation to create an image in his brain.

How does this work? Is he really seeing if he is blind? When thinking about vision the eyes work as an input devices sending images to our brain. We are really seeing in our minds not in our eyes. Our eyes are just the tool that the brain uses to crest the images of the world around us. Kish uses echolocation as his “eyes” to create the image in his brain. 

He uses echolocation to learn about the world around him. How far away objects are, what size are the objects, and how fast they are moving. It is amazing to think about, how literally everyone is a visual learner.
