Abstract
Children all over the world have varied rates of learning and development. While a
majority of children learn or acquire knowledge quite spontaneously depending on the
stimuli, a small number of them struggle to acquire knowledge even under the best
teachers given to them. The reason advanced by many scholars is that they have some
restraining elements within thems~ves that interfere with normal learning. Consequently
they are described as having special things, and they pause the greatest learning challenges
to their teachers. This study was aimed at investigating challenges that teachers face in
teaching learners with learning difficulties in Kiabonyoru zone, Ekerenyo division,
Nyamira North district Kenya.
As a result of poor performance by learners with learning difficulties, the blame is squarely
thrown to teachers by parents, the study would help to find out and correct areas that
needed intervention for the benefit of learners. To carry out the study, the researcher used
quantitative research approach through a survey method of research. Data was collected by
use of questionnaires with multiple choice answers. The researcher also used interview
schedule to collect data from selected parents, bringing the total respondents to forty.
