Special Education Professionals

Special Education Professionals (SEP) is an organization of therapists and special needs teachers who work in a multidisciplinary team, applying a transdisciplinary approach. SEP operates in Nairobi and selected rural areas. SEP is a non-profitable body. It was founded in 1990 and registered as a society in Kenya in 2001. SEP is unique, as its members work with education and healthcare professionals from all over the world, learning from other views and approaches, while striving for a common goal. SEP is driven by the aspiration of a holistic approach to improving the lives of children with disabilities and their families. The main thrust of SEP’s work in this regard concerns the ongoing capacity building of families, caregivers, community health volunteers (CHV) and professionals, using a transdisciplinary approach. SEP core activities are Training; Capacity Building in Institutions and Community Groups; Early Intervention Consultations, and Creating Awareness.
