The researcher investigated the educational challenges facing the hearing impaired pupils in
selected primary school in Leseru Location. The purpose of the study was to investigate
education provision for hearing impaired children in the approaches of teaching resources used
in teaching the number of trained personnel handling the hearing impaired learners, the attitudes
expressed b~ parents, enlightening the general public about the needs of hearing impaired and
then make recommendations with a view to improving their education.
The researcher used a sampled population of four regular primary school teachers, four (4)
teachers trained in the special needs education and four parents totaling to fourteen respondents
with a sampled population of over (20) regular primary schools teachers from 139 primary
schools.

conducted from January —July 2015, with the researcher obtaining introductory letter from the
University, pre-tested tools, made corrections, sought permission from Head teacher and started
his work. T~ researcher used tallies frequencies, percentages and tables to analyze data.
It was revealed that majority of regular teachers are not very positive towards their handicapped,
and they should not be frustrated when learners take long to achieve, Regular school teachers
should give a hand in assisting handicapped in the absence of their trained teachers. Parents are
partners in the educational process of their children.
There was poor relationship between regular teachers and learners with disabilities. Pupils were
nore secure in the hands of SNE trained teachers, handicapped learners were irregular at school
and all people i.e. parents, teachers, stake holders, NGOS should join hands to assist
handicapped learners.
lie envirq~ient should be less restricted, more teachers trained in SNE and open up more
BARC centers to create awareness among people.
