Testimonials
In 2022, at the age of three, Winifred enrolled at Nene’s Centre. She initially faced speech difficulties and was unable to communicate or follow instructions. She was also diagnosed with ADHD. However, she has shown significant improvement in many areas since then. Winifred has been successfully potty trained. When she first started school, she was unable to use the potty or toilet and always wore diapers. Now, she can follow basic instructions like "come," "sit," and "take." Although her speech has not improved much, she can minimally communicate and repeat a few two-syllable words with maximum prompting. Winifred can now feed herself. She can also trace letters but unable to write on her own. Her hyperactivity disorder is also gradually reducing.
Winifred's mumHurray!!!, guess who's the happiest person here. With Gratitude to Almighty God, we appreciate the management of Nene's Special Education Centre for your relentless efforts in giving my daughter (Ozioma) the best support and training ever. Thank you for nurturing our child's love for learning. The dedication of the teachers is commendable, your commitment to our child's development is invaluable, your passion and dedication have made a significant impact on my child's academic and growth. On behalf of my Family, we say a very big THANK YOU and we pray that your aspirations as a school will come to fruition in no distant time. May God strengthen our parents and teachers and intervene for our children. They will all graduate soon and make us proud. God bless NENE as you do more.
