There is also need to in service special needs educators which can only be
applicable through lecturers, films and conferences in which teachers discus
with experts the challenges they face as they carry on with their duties.
Seminars and workshops can be held so as to come out with practical
solutions to immediate problems. Exhibitions are also necessary so that
teachers can get in touch with new equipments teaching materials as well as
textbooks. Teachers handling intellectually challenged should seek specialist help so as to stand a better chance as they handle these pupils. Teaching skills alone are
not enough, there is need to know about children’s growth and development
