Survey research design was used for the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the respondents. Data was analyzed and presented inform of tables. The researcher found that most regular teachers in the zone had difficulties in including the intellectually challenged learners in regular schools due to a number of factors: Lack of training in special need education, overloading teachers, lack of materials and facilities to handle the intellectually challenged learners, large classes and negative attitude among others. Recommendations after the study were that seminars and workshops for teachers on handling of the intellectually challenged learners, more provision of facilities and materials in regular schools to enhance learning of intellectually challenged learners, the teacher learner ratio and the teaching work load should be lowered. | en_US |
