If schools cater to “typical” kids, what about the rest?

With 1 in 5 children learning differently, schools must evolve to reflect that reality.

As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I’ve seen how America’s education system leaves neurodivergent children behind. Despite growing awareness of ADHD, autism, and learning differences, schools remain stuck in outdated models. Without rethinking how classrooms are structured, we’ll keep failing students whose brains work differently.
