“We are humbled to return for another season on WUCF TV, which has been a wonderful home for our show,” said Darryl E. Owens, creator and host of the show and Beacon College’s associate vice president of communications and engagement. “As one in five people now have a learning difference, it is critical that we continue sharing stories that foster understanding and celebrate the strengths of people who learn differently. We are thankful to our partners at WUCF TV for believing in this mission and helping these stories reach audiences in Florida and beyond.”
The seventh season of “A World of Difference” will consist of 11 total episodes and explore a variety of topics, including finding the right environment for success, experiential learning, anxiety and the ability loop, the college experience for students who learn differently and more.
