자폐증의 우주 및 작업| The One with Chioma Nwokolo - On Space & Work in Autism: Episode 23 (2022)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:  I met Chioma in secondary school (Federal Government Girls’ College, Oyo). We didn’t talk much until later, although I would see her a lot on Facebook doing her thing and being inspirational. Since I  shared my experience with my daughter Ariife, Chioma has been one of her most loving online aunties. We recently got into a conversation and talked more about what she’s been up to, and I knew she had to come on the podcast.  Chioma is a child development tutor and therapist who specializes in helping kids with autism. You feel so much passion when she talks about these topics. We started by talking a bit about her experiences thus far, and she shared about being born in Lagos and why she moved to Jos and then Abuja, where she has been for the last eighteen years.  Chioma shared her experience at FGGC Oyo, the values she instilled, and how they have formed her into the woman she is today. An educationist, she shared the challenges and possible solutions to the failing Nigerian educational system. She shares ideas and strategies for effecting the change we all want to see.  How did she begin working with children with special needs? She tells us and shares how to care for children with special needs and how the Nigerian government might build better structures to support children with special needs and their parents.    Resources: Read blog here: https://mosibyl.medium.com/on-space-and-work-in-autism-bc2db7649700  The episode with former FEGGO girls.
