Still soaking in the beautiful experience at the 9th Biennial Conference of the School of Special Education, FCE (Special), Oyo 🥰

I was honoured to represent the Special Guest of Honour, Air Commodore Adedokun Edward (Rtd), and also receive an award on his behalf. Truly a moment of pride and purpose.

The conference filled with impactful conversations on inclusive education, evidence-based intervention, and creating better opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Every platform like this reminds me why advocacy matters and why we must keep pushing for a world where everyone thrives regardless of disability.

I am grateful to everyone who continues to support the vision of Friends of the Deaf Int’l Foundation (FDF).
