    Scented markers are great for one population in particular - those with
    visual impairments. I can give the marker set to a student who is blind, she
    can locate the color she wants through its scent and proceed in coloring. To
    some degree, she can even figure out what color she used in an area. For
    some of my visually impaired students, scented products (paint, crayons,
    markers, etc.) can give them the independence they deserve.
