    Attitudes of regular primary school teachers towards inclusion of learners with visual impairment into regular schools in Nairobi district - Kenya.
    (Kampala International University. College of Education, Open and Distance Learning, 2008-09) King’uu, Priscilla M.
    The study was based on “attitudes of regular primary school teachers towards inclusion of learners with visual impairment into regular schools in Dagoretti Division Nairobi Kenya. The absence of an integrated school dealing with learners with visual impairment in the division, led the researcher to investigate the teachers attitudes towards inclusion of learners with visual impairment. From the researchers findings it was clear that most of the teachers have positive attitude towards the inclusion of learners with special needs. However these teachers lack the knowledge, skills and equipment to handle learners with special needs. The researcher therefore recommend the Government to train more teachers on the area of Special Needs Education. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) need to post contact teachers (at least one contract teacher) in every regular primary school who would work together with the itinerant teacher. There is also need to give special allowances to the contact teachers in regular primary schools.
