Stephen Emmanuel on Uncovering Neurodiversity in Nigeria
Manage episode 366490418 series 2542783
This week I'm joined by Stephen Emmanuel and we discuss his work as a teacher trainer, SpLD Researcher and neurodiversity advocate in Nigeria.
He shares his journey and how he came to realise in 2020 during the pandemic that Dyslexia was a thing, and this led him to host the first webinar on Dyslexia awareness in Nigeria. He also shares with us some of the challenges and opportunities in Nigeria to support neurodiversity awareness and changes in the classroom due to its multi-diverse demographics.
Stephen shares with us how teaching in the classroom in Lagos, is done through the English language and English textbooks and this can add an extra layer of complexity to supporting young people with their learning especially when they are impacted by Dyslexia and will speak a variety of other languages and dialects at home.
We also discuss the challenges around words and terminology associated with neurodiversity, and how sometimes there is confusion or a lack of understanding of what they mean and how young people are impacted.
This is the podcast where we speak to people who care and are passionate about the topic of neurodiversity, and want to see a world where we are no longer disabled by society.
