Director & Community Champion

About Me

Hello, my name is Shukri, I am a mum of an 11 year old son with ASD. I am from Somalia. I am an accountant and a director of Special Needs Community (SNC). I am also a Community Champion and interested in helping parents, especially from Somalia. You can share your experience of having a child with special educational needs or disability (SEND) I can provide information about what is available on the Local Offer and where to go to for support. You can ask me about the Short Breaks (respite), which includes playschemes and afterschool clubs. I can also tell you about how you can get the Max Card, which a special needs discount card, for your family to use at lots of different places such as Legoland, Alton Towers, and Thorpe Park.
