	Education for Students with Intellectual Disabilities in Kenya: Challenges and Prospects M.J. Chomba, S.G. Mukuria, P.W. Kariuki, S. Tumuti, B.A. Bunyasi Disability Studies Quarterly (2015) C2 View PDF(254) Download (243) Add to my MEDBOX Kenya has great potential for enhancing education for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The fact that it has recognized the need to care for learners with special needs is commendable. In comparison to many African countries, Kenya and Nigeria are ahead in developing programs for special education in institutions of higher learning, and in starting schools and units for special education. However, a legal mandate is still required as it would seal many loopholes that currently exist. Without it, the assessment of individual with intellectual disabilities cannot be administered correctly and professionally. In this article, the authors present a coherent account on various aspects related to learners with intellectual disabilities in Kenya. No doubt, the issues and challenges identified call for attention by not only the government of Kenya but also those interested in improving the status of learners with intellectual disabilities Tags: education, students, intellectual disability, challenges, kenya, higher learning, special education, Source: http://dsq-sds.org/article/view/3846/379
	Mentally Challenged Children in Africa: Victims of Sexual Abuse Jabulani G. Kheswa Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy (2014) CC Open external link (963) Add to my MEDBOX Vol 5 No 27 \| ISSN 2039-2117 (online) \| ISSN 2039-9340 (print) \| The rate of sexual victimization of mentally retarded children is alarming and it goes unnoticed because the perpetrators could be parents, step- parents, relatives, well-respected individuals by family members, neighbours and educators. Drawing from labelling theory that the mentally retarded have low IQ, majority of perpetrators tend not to get arrested because of lack of evidence. Research indicates that educators struggle to identify the psychological, behavioural and physical symptoms of sexual abuse owing to their limited training. Having employed systematic review as methodology, this research study found that mentally retarded children are prone to HIV/AIDS, PTSD and feelings of helplessness owing to uninvolvement of parents, dysfunctional communities, poverty and their inability to differentiate between abuse and affection. Based on the findings, the recommendations are that: (1) extensive training for professionals, families and community members be executed to protect children with intellectual disability. Furthermore, the rights of the mentally retarded children must be respected in the court of law when reporting sexual abuse Tags: sexual abuse, mental retardation, stigma, HIV/AIDS, mentally challenged children, children with disabilities, people with disabilities, disabled children, child protection, PTBS, Posttraumatische Belastungs, intellectual disability, Source: http://www.mcser.org/journal/index.php/m
