    Caring and Educating The Physically Impaired Children
    (Tangaza University College, 2001-05-18) Mutiswa, Alexander
    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.
