Deafblindness is clearly a disability that seems remarkably difficult to overcome. However, Kenyan officials have recently done their part to ensure that children with deafblindness are receiving an adequate education in their public schools. The article "Developing the First Deafblind Curriculum in Kenya" (found here: http://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2013/aug/05/deafblind-school-curriculum-kenya-global-development) reveals the initiation of the major improvement to their special education services.
The article states that nearly 17,000 citizens of Kenya currently have deafblindness, so there was clearly a need for a regulated and successful curriculum for these students. The passage of this law is a major victory for disability rights activists as this will greatly improve the education of these students. I think this must be incredibly encouraging for all of the teachers and families that before had a much more difficult time teaching these students.
I found this article very insightful and uplifting. People often think of African countries as being very underdeveloped and having sub-par education. This article shows that this is not always the case. It is great to see that Kenya is taking initiative to help all of their students to receive a worthy education regardless of their abilities.
