dc.description.abstractThe focus of this study was the implementation factors of teaching life skills education to learners with multiple disabilities in special schools in Mombasa County, Kenya. These teaching methods require specially qualified teachers. This research investigated the extent to which this has effectively been implemented in Mombasa County. In addition, it established the role of the multidisciplinary team in teaching life skills to learners with multiple disabilities. To effectively teach such learners, one needs material resources. Thus, the researcher investigated the extent to which these resources are effectively used. In order to meritoriously address the set objectives, the research was limited to special schools in Mombasa County. It was based on the Social Learning theory by Bandura (1965) which basically looks at how learners learn behavior from society. This theory was used to investigate the methods used in teaching life skills. To attain my goal, Descriptive Survey research design was used. Data was collected from head teachers, life skills teachers and the multidisciplinary team through interviews and questionnaires. The location of the study was in Mombasa County. The key findings were that teachers use various teaching methods and they employ them differentially. Teachers had varied professional qualifications although a few of them wished they had further training. The Multidisciplinary team plays a critical role in learning. The teachers have resources for teaching although inadequate. There is a need for adequate funding to facilitate provision of learners with life skills. Institution heads should learn about the different teaching methods and formulate measures to support the teaching methods. The government should deal with the shortage of teachers. There is also a need to employ an interactive approach in teaching methods used in teaching life skillsen_US
