Take the Guesswork Out of Learning Difficulties
OptiKodes Academy Founder Kimberley Lemyre Blackburn, MA
A LEARNING AND CHILD DEVELOPMENTAL SPECIALIST, KIMBERLEY’S EXPERTISE IS IDENTIFYING EACH CHILD’S ‘LEARNING LANGUAGE’ AND APPLYING IT ACROSS THE BOARD SO THEY CAN THRIVE IN EVERY SUBJECT IN SCHOOL. HER ADDITIONAL SPECIALITY IS KINETIC LEARNING - AN ACTIVE APPROACH TO LEARNING SHE HAS DEVELOPED THAT OFFSETS THE RELIANCE ON TRADITIONAL METHODS WHICH LEAVE OUT THE REGULATING INTELLIGENCE OF THE BODY.
Engaging Each Child’s Natural Processing Style
Each child is a natural born learner - their OptiKode Learning Style reveals their dominant processing styles as well their 2 dormant ones. The traditional sit, look and listen method in classrooms simply doesn’t reach up to 40% of students. Instead, the answer is to unlock a learner’s 3 dominant processing pathways and to also channel their KINETIC ENERGY into learning. At OptiKodes Academy, we specialize in supporting. each child’s authentic ‘Learning Language’ as shown in their OptiKode and creating a new love of learning with it.
Whether you come for a one time OptiKode Learning Style evaluation to discover your child’s learning language, or bring them for weekly one-on-one sessions, you will be joining the hundreds of families in Contra Costa and Solano County who have gotten the breakthroughs they’ve been looking for with OptiKodes Academy.
Created during the early months of the pandemic; this video will show you how to set up a kinetic learning space at home. Now more than ever, kids need less screen time and more movement to stay regulated and successful with school and learning.
TRY KINETIC LEARNING - HAPPIER LEARNERS GUARANTEED
What is an OptiKode?
The Five Learning Pathways are:
Seeing Dominant - Being SIGHT SMART: learning through images, visual processing, graphics and design
Hearing Dominant - Being SOUND SMART: learning through hearing, verbal processing, music and dialogue
Moving Dominant - Being BODY SMART: learning through hands-on, physical experience
Reading Dominant - Being BOOK SMART: learning through reading, writing and linguistic experience
Thinking Dominant - Being NUMBER SMART: learning through analytical, mathematical, and systematic thought
The Dormant and Dominant Part of Each OptiKode Learning Style:
Each person processes in a one-of-a-kind way and each one of our OptiKodes our 3 dominant pathways and our 2 dormant ones. THE KEY IS THIS: when we consistently play to a students strengths - his or her dominant pathways - they become natural born learners. We unlock their learning language and use it to learn the way they are naturally designed to do, not the way that is ‘pre-set’ for students in school.
The outer three rings are Dominant.
The inner two rings are Dormant.
