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.

    Why Personalized Education Works for Students Who Learn Differently

    What if school wasn’t something students had to survive, but something designed for who they are? In this episode of Learning Differently, Lynna Martinez-Khalilian and Mike Wang sit down with Joie Laykoff to explore the future of education through the lens of personalization. They unpack what’s working, what’s changing, and what still needs to shift to truly serve students with learning, social, and emotional differences. From one-to-one models to tech-free flexibility, this episode challenges the old assumptions of “what school should be” and paints a picture of what it could become. If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like to build a system around students instead of fitting students into a system…this conversation is for you.
