Creator & Founder
Meet Shakira
As an Inclusive Education Strategist my goal at special compass is to put a face to Learning Disabilities. I, like many of the students that we work with, went through a period of time where school made me anxious, nervous, frustrated and fearful. I could not grasp many of the concepts that other students seemed to pick up quickly – but, I had no clue as to why. What’s wrong with me? Why is everyone else so smart and I seem to be so stupid? These were the questions that floated through my mind day in and day out. Turning inwards, I began to judge myself. Weighing on my spirits, I sunk deeper into a feeling of hopelessness and eventually found it difficult to connect with others.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
SUSAN, PARENT
I would love to attend again with some friends who's children could also benefit for the workshop.
FOLU, PARENT
This was a great seminar!
I learned parents that are in denial need to get out of the mindset and start to advocate for the children immediately.
I loved seeing the different ways of learning, open my eyes to great options.
Great job Shakira
