Autistic students often struggle not because they can’t learn, but because schools weren’t built with them in mind. From overwhelming environments to misunderstood behaviors, traditional classrooms can create unnecessary barriers to connection and progress.

In this episode of Learning Differently, hosts Lynna Martinez-Khalilian and Mike Wang sit down with Dr. Damon Korb to explore how autism shows up in real classrooms and what parents, educators, and clinicians can do to help students feel seen, supported, and successful.
