The management of most of these institutions has however been taken over by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology while the Kenya Institute of Special Education established in 1986 built the capacity of special needs education services provided through teacher training and in servicing and research. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Special needs education is currently provided in special schools through the integration processes and special units attached to regular schools. This is in line with universal primary school education to embrace inclusive practices by keeping special needs children in ordinary classrooms where they learn with their peers.

The visually and hearing impaired students do not have functional devices to assist them in the learning processes. view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: in the entire Mombasa County. It has a primary and a secondary school for the visually impaired. These students need braille for them to access teaching and learning processes and this is not happening. Every time we are talking about including children with disabilities in terms of access to education, but in real terms, we are doing very little. There is a big population of these children with different types of disabilities who do not go to school. The few who go to school are those with physical challenges. Those with autism, hydrocephalus, spina bifida and cerebral palsy are still ... view
