Part 2: Titilayomi and her quest to getting a diagnosis for her son. How did her journey become purposeful and worthwhile?
Description
Titilayomi's journey and her son's diagnosis of autism.
Listen to the second part of her story— the aftermath of her son's diagnosis.
Despite Titilayomi's intuition that something was wrong with her son's development, she could not get answers in Nigeria. She travelled to the US for a diagnosis and was nowhere in the world after the diagnosis.
Titilayomi is the Head, Special Educational Needs and Deputy Head, Elementary at Blooming Lights Montessori School. She holds an MSc,
Corporate Communications & Public Affairs from Aberdeen Business School (Scotland, UK).
Early in her career, she practised for over ten years in Communications, covering - Public Relations/Experiential Marketing and Client Service Management; then purposefully found a niche in Special Education.

She obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Education from the National Institute of Teachers, Nigeria, a SEND Diploma from a UK Academy and training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

and now spends her time designing academic interventions for young children living with autism.
