Children With Special Needs In Ghana

In Ghana:

•1 in every 5 children aged six to 24 years with a disability has never attended school (UNICEF Ghana)

•Those in school are often stigmatized and do not receive differentiated teaching.

•In a research conducted in Accra, the major conditions identified were cerebral palsy, seizure disorder, speech delay, ADHD and Autism.

•In the Greater Accra region, 13% of young children are identified with functional disabilities. (Statista)

•Females are more likely than males to have a disability, i.e. 8.8% vs 6.5% (Ghana Statistical Service)

•Despite Ghana’s ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2012, discrimination and inequality persist for PWDs.

•Some factors that contribute to this include low skill levels, lack of formal education, negative societal perceptions, stereotyping, and discrimination (UNPRPD)
