Eskay M. , Ngwoke, D. U. And Ngwoke, A. N.

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Nigerian children continue to embrace multidimensional issues in schools and within their communities. Such issues include societal negative perceptions and teacher expectations. Unfortunately, there are no legal mandates requiring both the regular and special education teachers to identify, assess, place and instruct these children with exceptionalities in a humane way that neither labels nor destroy their self-concepts. Therefore, in this article, the authors mention and discuss multidimensional issues that confront children with exceptionalities in Nigeria and render techniques that will help in reducing labels and enhance their self-concepts.
