Abstract
The study sought to examine the impact of inclusive education on children with hearing
impairment. Inclusive education is provision of education for all in schools. It came as a
policy after many conventions and declarations. Research instruments used were
questionnaires and arm chair traveling document method. Subjects involved in the study
were the DEO, headteachers, teachers and parents.
The findings indicate that inclusive education has not sunk deeply in our education
system and a number of professionals still find difficulty implementing it and yet there
are formulated policies in place.
For inclusive education to succeed, government should re-kindle vigorous campaigns
and sensitizations alongside training more teachers in special needs education. This will
beat down conservatives who think special schools are the only places where children
with hearing impairment can learn.
Inclusive schools aim at maximizing and increasing the participation of all learners. This
involves examining teaching, learning practices and the environment. It also calls for
adjustments in teaching approaches, learning practices and the environment so that
learners with hearing impairment can also benefit.
Inclusive education has its benefits to both learners with special needs and other
members of society but generally it creates an inclusive society.
Managing inclusion at schools calls for a good teacher preparation, learners’
preparation., attitudinal change, environmental modification and support services from
other qualified personnel to help children in schools.
