Abstract: It has been observed that children with disabilities are often neglected by their parents and society. Yet modernization and globalization demand that individuals should contribute to national development irrespective of whether a child has disabilities or not. Much contribution cannot be made without education. It is on the above premise that this paper discusses the concept of disability, what the Nigeria Policy on Education says about educating children with disabilities and the current situation in the country. It was recommended, among other things, that government should adequately funds schools for children with disabilities; and that these children would be better catered for in schools if they must outlive dependent existence and contribute to national growth.
