The Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology (JKUAT) plans to introduce a Master's Degree Programme in Rehabilitation Science to train specialists on providing support services to those abled differently.
The programme seeks to address the growing demand of specialists in physical therapy, speech therapy, and pathology, among other fields.
According to Dr.
Mwangi Matheri, the Head of Rehabilitation Sciences Department at JKUAT, the programme will help address the growing concerns of shortages of rehabilitation professionals and trainers in the country, coming at a time when the number of persons with some form of disability continues to rise.
