The study adopted a descriptive research design and survey methods. The researcher targeted learners with low vision without other disabilities in classes 4 to 8 as the respondents in order to gather information for the study. Questionnaires were used to collect information from the twenty learners with Low Vision. Test-retest method was used to ascertain the reliability of the research instrument.

On the basis of these findings, the study recommended that the Kenya government through the Ministry of Education, NonGorvernentsl Organizations and parents to give priority towards the provision of adequate instructional materials for teaching and teachers should be in-serviced in the use of individualized education programme.
