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 some one 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.
