ABSTRACT
Samburu community is found in Northern Rift Valley province of Kenya. a long
period, they have had a diverse type of disability such as physically
handicapped, mentally intellectual, hearing impairment, epileptic cases etc.
Samburu belief that some of the causes of disabilities are diseases while
other causes are believed to be curse from ancestors, punishment from God
due to sins committed by either parents of grandparents and witchcrafts.
Despite the government of Kenya making basic education free and
compulsory little effort have been put in place to help the disabled learn and
compete effectively with other students. This research therefore tries to
bridge the gap between the disabled and other normal students by providing
essential information necessary to help the disabled.
Sociological inquiry_ in form of survey was used for data collection whereby a
pre-tested questionnaire was administered to respondents. Purposive
sampling was used. The collected data from the survey was coded and
entered in the computer and analyzed using the frequency distribution and
percentage were used in data interpretation. The findings showed that
intellectually challenged learners had no places for vocational training for
instance Lodokejek transfer their learners to Meru. The curriculum offered
does not meet all learners' needs as indicated by 87% of the respondents.
Apparently effecting learning of intellectually challenged is not very successful
as 71 % of the respondents recorded a negative response on cooperation
between the local stakeholders, parents and teachers of Lorroki Division of
Samburu District.
