I am a distinguished academic specializing in Special Needs Education at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology where I am an associate professor. I have served as a head of the Department of Special Needs Education and Early Childhood Development and currently serve as the Head, Disability Support Services Unit. My area of expertise and research is disability studies focusing on inclusion. My interest is in the inclusion/exclusion of marginalized groups in education and other community based programmes, more particularly persons with disabilities (PWDs). I have published widely in all categories of learners with disabilities, presented papers in many international conferences, attended and facilitated many national and international capacity building sessions, attracted funding and run projects focusing on vulnerable groups especially PWDs.
