Episode notes

When considering college options, it's essential to evaluate the faculty-to-student ratio, as smaller class sizes are generally more supportive for students with learning disabilities or those on the neurodivergent spectrum. Understanding individual learning needs is crucial; a more intimate learning environment, such as classes with 20 to 30 students, can enhance learning experiences compared to larger classes with 300 students. This principle applies across various educational settings, including trade schools and other post-secondary pathways.
