CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The physically challenged students are gifted students who have ability to be educated irrespective of their disabilities like the deaf, the blind, the dumb, the lame etc. There is a need to redirect national interest, support and understanding for the plight of the physically challenged away from the traditional attitude of \seeing them as qualified only for alms.
A situation where physically challenged people, expect those who could be taken care of by their families are neglected to relying on public emotions expressed in the form of aims, does not speak well for our sense of social responsibility. Yunusa (1993) believes that physically challenged does not mean they cannot contribute their quota to various facet of national development. Therefore, the physically challenged students in Oyo State posses the talents and all the aggregate of learning just like their counterpart at school. Education which is a life process must be provided for every individual, the physically challenge inclusive. The term “physically challenged” can be viewed in many ways mainly psychological and maladjustment.
Recently many social scientists have paid their attention towards physically challenged students not only in developed but also in developing countries. Although, technological advancement, globalization, internationalization of media and effort made by international institutions, including international non-governmental organizations have create some space for physically challenged students who are living to compete equal footing but situation is unfortunately still much unsatisfactory.
Attitudes of peers and teachers have a tremendous impact on the life of individual with a physically challenged. The person’s self concept, cognitive and social development, academic performance and general psychological health based on attitude of society. Physically challenged students self perception largely based on the attitude of society. Mostly respondents reported negative attitude of peers at basic education level where usually children look towards them surprisingly. But at higher education level students do not show any discriminatory attitude. Friends were more helping and cooperative at this level.
