Episode 310-Empowering Learners: Multi-Sensory Strategies for Academic Success with Dr. Emily Levy

Send us a text

Ever wondered why some brilliant minds struggle with reading, writing, or math? What if the key isn't trying harder, but learning differently?

Dr. Emily Levy, founder of EBL Coaching, takes us into the world of multi-sensory learning strategies that transform education for students with diverse learning needs. Drawing from her twenty-one years of experience and childhood immersed in special education (her mother founded a school for students with learning disabilities), Dr. Levy shares how targeted, research-based approaches help students not just overcome challenges but discover their unique strengths.

"Every child, even if they struggle tremendously in school, has gifts," explains Dr. Levy. Her organization's one-on-one tutoring programs serve students from preschool through adulthood, addressing dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, and other learning differences. Through success stories—like the severely struggling student now studying engineering at Georgetown—we see how proper support creates life-changing outcomes.

Parents will find practical advice for identifying learning challenges early, from difficulties with letter recognition to math fact memorization. Dr. Levy also addresses adult learning needs, explaining how workplace demands often trigger adults to seek help for long-unaddressed learning difficulties. The conversation explores summer learning strategies, from specialized programs to everyday opportunities like baking (measuring teaches fractions) and journaling to maintain skills between school years.

This episode offers invaluable insights for parents, educators, and anyone interested in how multi-sensory approaches can transform learning. Whether you're supporting a child who's struggling or looking to enhance your own learning capabilities, you'll discover why building on strengths while addressing challenges creates the foundation for lifelong success.
