The Challenge
Disabilities in children too often go unidentified until it’s too late for early intervention to make its full difference — especially in counties with limited access to specialist health services.
My Role
Supported planning and field coordination of multidisciplinary screening outreaches, working alongside audiologists, ENT specialists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, and child protection officers — plus caregiver sensitization and referral pathway support.
Impact
More than 4,700 learners with disabilities screened across multiple counties, strengthened referral pathways between schools and health facilities, and closer collaboration between Kenya’s health and education sectors.
Helping move disability identification from late intervention to early support and timely access to services.
