dc.description.abstractSpecial Education Policy implementation remains a critical component towards attainment of inclusive education globally. Studies have shown widespread failure in implementation of Special Education Policy particularly in developing countries. A lack of early identification and intervention of learners with special needs has left many deserving cases unattended and ignored. Thus, this study examined the effects of beneficiary processing on Implementation of Special Needs Education Policy. It was framed using the hybrid model and the management model of policy implementation. Pragmatism philosophy guided the study as it employed descriptive, crosssectional survey research design. The study targeted 1121 respondents in Embu and Nairobi counties, from whom 239 individuals were sampled. This research utilized stratified, purposive and random sampling techniques. Six strata that comprised of officials and trainers from Ministry of Education (MoE) , District Education Boards(DEB), Kenya Institute of Education(KISE) and Kenyatta University(KU), Head teachers, teachers and learners were considered. Instruments for data collection included an interview guide, a questionnaire and structured a participant observation checklist. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics while qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. This study found out that a negative and significant association also existed between beneficiary processing and enrolment rates in Embu and Nairobi City Countiesen_US
