| dc.description.abstract | Special Needs Education in Nigeria takes place majorly in formal school environment like other regular schools. This implies that the quality of its service delivery must not be different from regular education in the country. This study investigated the quality of service delivery provided for Children with Disabilities in Ondo State Nigeria. It adopted survey research design and the population consisted of all the children in the four public primary schools providing education for children with disabilities in the state. The respondents for the study comprised 4 Head Teachers and 8 Assistant Head Teachers in the schools. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the respondents. An instrument named Quality of Education Service Delivery for Children with Disabilities Checklist (QESDCDC) and interview was used. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages and content analysis. The result showed that there was low provision of schools for CwDs, the children were not going through screening assessment before placing them in classes, the children classrooms were overcrowded and the curriculum available was inappropriate. The study concluded that the quality of education service delivery provided for CwDs in Ondo state needs urgent improvement and attention by the State and Local Government. | |
