Every student learns differently, and the typical public school works to offer accommodations to students who need them.
During the pandemic, the shift to remote learning devastated some families of children with special needs, but for a number of parents interviewed for Crosscut's podcast, "This Changes Everything", the shutdowns created a unique opportunity for families to better understand how their kids learn and to become better advocates for them.

You can listen to "This Changes Everything" wherever you listen to podcasts, or at Crosscut.com/podcasts.
