Quick, Can you name the five senses? I’ll give you a hint: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. That was easy. What would life be without them?… That’s a little harder.
Let’s say you are visually impaired. You may have trouble matching your clothes, walking down the street, or making your breakfast. The good news: You can still use your ears, nose, hands and memory to get around. You can still play “Beep Baseball” and many other sports.
What if you can’t hear…never have, never will. It would be a world with no music, no birds singing sweetly, no mother’s soft voice. The good news: You can still read lips or communicate with sign language. In fact, you can do most anything—Beethoven was deaf. 
Suppose you have no sense of touch; you can’t feel a hug or your mother’s touch. You burn your skin because you can’t feel pain. The good news: you may have an enhanced sense of sight, hearing, taste and smell.
You have no sense of taste because you have a cold, an injury or maybe even a side effect from medication. The bad news: you can’t enjoy Mom’s homemade chocolate chip cookies. The good news: you may lose weight!
With no sense of smell you can’t enjoy flowers or tell when there’s a gas leak. The bad news: You can’t smell a skunk! The good news: You can’t smell a skunk!
