Abstract
This study was carried out under the topic teaching methods and academic performance of visually impaired learners in Ngong Division, Kajindo Kenya. The study was guided by three objectives; to find out how really teacher's management and involvement of visually impaired learners influence their academic performance. Visual impairment means the loss of vision or total blindness. Vision is the first leading factor m academics henceforth someone who cannot see, cannot read or write well. Unless some supportive instruments are provided. The increased schools' enrolment, due to UPE has contributed to a rise in the number of disabled children m primary schools (Randiki 2002). Being disabled in one way or the other, these learners could to perform quite well without teachers' special help. Thus this study specifically was carried out to investigate the teacher's ability to identify, manage and involve visually impaired learners in regular schools and classrooms in the inclusive education system.
