Feel is real for me but I don’t use it when I’m trying to get someone to consciously process using another modality. In this case vision.
Mark,
That makes sense to me. But Vince sais:

we fuze the best available information from the available senses.
If this is correct in general, you couldn't have your student focussing on vision, because he'd pick what seems important to HIM from all the information available by all senses.
No doubt we can and do use multi sensory often.
But that doesn't tell why explaining and demonstrating at the same time proves the group to be splitable in those primarly listening and those primarly watching as soon as demo and explanation differ.
In fact it always seemed to me, that many students don't hear me (and especially don't listen) when I throw looong pointy loops in the air. The fascination about the loops seems to narrow what source of information is picked.
As a consequence I learnt to best support the information I want them to get to be the one they focus on!
Back to SLP... Do I want my students trying to watch their tip path to be straight, when yet they cant see it in 2d and in a too high speed anyway? No. So I prefer not to bring their focus too much on it.
Agree, that autistic ppl. are slightly different in focussing. I was teaching one (son of my exgf) for some years. My exp. is, that he could focus excellent.
Cheers
