Moreover, although exclusion from education is magnified by intersecting gender and socioeconomic inequalities, there is especially little knowledge regarding what approaches to inclusive education are effective amongst girls with disabilities living in resource-poor settings.Objectives: The objective of this article was to assess the impact of an inclusive education intervention led by a non-governmental organisation (NGO) on the educational attainment of girls with disabilities in the resource-poor Lakes region of Kenya.Method: A quasi-experimental design was employed, where the literacy and numeracy educational attainment of the intervention and control groups was compared over two time points a year apart (Time 1 and Time 2; total matched N = 353). During this period, activities pertaining to six core components of a holistic inclusive education model were implemented.Results: Relative to the control group, girls with disabilities in the intervention group reported a greater increase in literacy and numeracy attainment, adjusted for grade and level of functional difficulty.Conclusion: Findings suggest that the intervention was successful in engendering additional improvements in the educational attainment of girls with disabilities from the resource-poor Lakes region of Kenya. Results highlight both the applicability of NGO-led interventions in settings, where national implementation of inclusive education is constrained, and the potential of taking such interventions to scale.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/ajod.v9i0.555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,18]],"date-time":"2020-04-18T16:24:47Z","timestamp":1587227087000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The impact of an inclusive education intervention on learning outcomes for girls with disabilities within a resource-poor setting"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1377-2910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark","family":"Carew","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3781-0261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcella","family":"Deluca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7885-7042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nora","family":"Groce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5551-6878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sammy","family":"Fwaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1975-7674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Kett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0001","author":"Bakhshi","year":"2013","journal-title":"What are the impacts of approaches to increase the accessibility to education for people with a disability across developed and developing countries and what is known about the cost-effectiveness of different approaches?"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2004.01373.x","volume":"10","author":"Binka","year":"2005","journal-title":"Tropical Medicine & International Health"},{"key":"ref0003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10538712.2014.906530"},{"key":"ref0004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13603116.2018.1430181"},{"key":"ref0005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13603110903030089"},{"key":"ref0006","author":"Department for International Development (DFID)","year":"2000","journal-title":"Disability, poverty, and development"},{"key":"ref0007","author":"Department for International Development (DFID)","year":"2015","journal-title":"Disability framework \u2013 One year on: Leaving no one behind"},{"key":"ref0008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1034912X.2014.985638"},{"key":"ref0009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/03768350600927144"},{"key":"ref0010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J137v06n02_02"},{"key":"ref0011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1596\/978-1-4648-0779-4"},{"key":"ref0012","author":"Groce","year":"2014","journal-title":"Forced marriage among persons with intellectual disabilities"},{"key":"ref0013","author":"Kenya Ministry of Education","year":"2017","journal-title":"National education management information system, web-based data management solution"},{"key":"ref0014","author":"Kenya National Bureau of Statistics","year":"2005","journal-title":"Economic survey 2005"},{"key":"ref0015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-3802.2007.00086.x"},{"key":"ref0016","author":"Leonard Cheshire","year":"2017","journal-title":"Closing the gap: Inclusive Education for girls wi th disabilities in Kenya"},{"key":"ref0017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-11-S4-S4"},{"key":"ref0018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13603110802265125"},{"key":"ref0019","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.worlddev.2017.12.001"},{"key":"ref0020","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10130950.2015.1041802"},{"issue":"20","key":"ref0021","first-page":"1413","volume":"5","author":"Nkonyane","year":"2014","journal-title":"Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences"},{"key":"ref0022","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1077801212444578"},{"key":"ref0023","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(16)00060-7"},{"key":"ref0024","first-page":"70","author":"Sheldon","year":"2014","journal-title":"Disabling barriers: Enabling environments"},{"key":"ref0025","author":"United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)","year":"2017","journal-title":"Education and disability"},{"key":"ref0026","author":"United Nations","year":"2007","journal-title":"Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities"},{"key":"ref0027","author":"Uwezo","year":"2009","journal-title":"Uwezo!
