Abstract
Physical impairment does not in any way dehumanise a child but it only limits the child from
getting things done fast in the same way as the able counterparts. The important thing in life
is to learn to live positively. The purpose of educating and caring for the physically impaired
is to support them with tools to meet their challenges. They are faced with challenges due to
negative attitudes right from home, school and the community at large. Many people have
come to their aid. This is evident in Machakos school of the Disabled, where teachers have
worked very hard to improve the lives of the physically impaired.
There are other parties who have done a lot to help the physically impaired. There are none
Governmental Organisations like the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organisation
(WHO), which have invested heavily on projects of physically impaired children. However,
the researcher observes that the problem at present is not the finances or impairment rather
the attributes towards the physically impaired. They continue facing unbecoming responses
from the physically abled people. The researcher wonders whether we can an atmosphere
acceptance where the physically impaired are not viewed as burden, and not discriminated in
education and care. (this sentence seems not clear)). Further studies can arise as the
researcher confirms that the physically impaired children are human beings with dignity and
can achieve very highly in educational sphere.
