      My story

      I am Naminata, the founder of Nafa - educational tools. My journey towards the creation of this company began with a personal and painful observation: the learning difficulties of my daughter, Maëly. When Maëly was 2 years old, I noticed language problems that manifested as difficulties in pronunciation, in answering age-appropriate questions, in structuring her sentences and in clearly expressing her needs, ideas and emotions. At the time, the specialists I consulted in France didn't really take these signs seriously, but my instinct as a mother pushed me to dig deeper.

      It was when I arrived in Canada, three years later, that I decided to consult again. This time, the specialists confirmed my suspicions: Maëly suffered from a developmental language disorder (DDL). A cluster of specific learning disabilities was also diagnosed, including dyslexia, dysorthographia and dyscalculia, as well as non-hyperactivity attention deficit disorder and dyspraxia.

      Creation of NAFA - Educational tools

      These discoveries awakened in me a fierce determination to help my daughter. Faced with this reality, I immersed myself body and soul in the search for tools and strategies that could help Maëly develop her potential. I went through articles, books, videos and participated in conferences on the subject, even integrating groups of parents living the same situation as me.

      I also worked closely with the education professionals who followed Maëly, to design an individualized intervention plan to meet her needs. I also made sure teachers understood her challenges and made reasonable accommodations in the classroom.

      It is from this personal and educational journey that Nafa - educational tools was born. I dream of a world where every child, regardless of their challenges, has access to educational tools that help them develop their full potential.
