G. K. Karugu reporting for UNESCO (1988) reports that a Mission on Education was set up to investigate the state of Special Education services in Uganda between 1987/1988. He says that it was recommended among others that Uganda should embark on training Special Education Teachers following the urgent need that was identified then. In response, training of teachers offering Special Education was started at the Institute of Teacher Education Kyambogo (ITEK) in September 1988. The department at ITEK later developed into Uganda National Institute of Special Education (UNISE) which was established with the help of the Government of Denmark. UNISE in 1992 joined other two institutions ie Uganda Polytechnic – Kyambogo (UPK) and Institute of teacher Education -Kyambogo to form what is current Kyambogo University. Since then, Special Needs Education teachers have been trained by Kyambogo University and of late a few other Institutions in the country to an approximate number of 12,000
