ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
When we understand how students learn, we help unlock who they can become.
On Learning Differently, Lynna Martinez-Khalilian and Michael Wang talk with parents, educators, and experts to explore how students with learning, social, and emotional differences actually learn, why traditional school can be so challenging for them, and what really helps them thrive.
We dive into ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, autism, executive function, and more, breaking down the science, sharing real stories, and offering practical tools for the people who support these students every day.
