Welcome, and thank you for being here.
I am a Special Educational Needs (SEN) professional deeply committed to helping neurodiverse children and vulnerable learners access practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed support wherever they are.
I am a Special Educational Needs (SEN) professional deeply committed to helping neurodiverse children and vulnerable learners access practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed support—wherever they are.
With a foundation in Pharmacology and Therapeutics and advanced training in special needs education and therapy, my work sits at the intersection of science, education, and lived experience. This journey is also personal. Having grown up navigating mild dyspraxia, I understand firsthand the quiet frustrations, missed potentials, and breakthroughs that come when the right support meets the right child.
In 2022, I founded SmartPrep Special Needs Therapeutics to address critical gaps in SEN services across Nigeria and the wider West African region. Since then, my work has supported and trained over 500 educators, therapists, and caregivers across Nigeria and West Africa, strengthening frontline capacity and improving outcomes for children with diverse needs.
My professional practice is benchmarked against the standards, frameworks, and methodologies of leading international disability and learning organizations, ensuring that global best practices are thoughtfully adapted to local classrooms, homes, and cultural realities. This balance between global standards and local relevance defines my approach.
Beyond direct training and therapy, I have developed several SEN resources, intervention materials, and CPD short courses designed to improve the quality, simplicity, accessibility, and effectiveness of SEN services in Nigeria—making support clearer for professionals and more meaningful for families.
Here at Smartprep Special Needs Therapeutics, our core areas of work include autism and neurodevelopmental disorders, speech and language development, learning disabilities, screening, inclusive classroom design, intervention planning, IEP development and Review, and caregiver empowerment/SEN training.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple conviction: every child deserves complete care—delivered with dignity, clarity, and hope.
