| Abstract | Disability rights issues are an emerging area of discourse in Kenya. Persons with  disabilities in Kenya face many barriers to integration into the larger Kenyan society  possibly due to barriers such as societal negative attitudes. Research has indicated that the  greatest barrier to rehabilitation of persons with disabilities is negative attitudes prevalent  in society. Owing to their composition and enrolment, current University of Nairobi  students are or will be engaged in daily decision making as leaders in the Kenyan society,  some of which may directly affect the lives of persons with disabilities. It is therefore  imperative to study their attitudes toward disability, especially at a time when the Kenya  Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003 is being implemented. The main purpose of this  study was to examine the general attitudes toward disability and attitudes toward  organizational policies among University of Nairobi undergraduate students. Participants  were a convenience sample of students enrolled in Sociology, Social Work, Psychology,  Political Science, and Public Administration majors. Quantitative data analyses were used  to study attitudes. The Attitudes Towards persons with Disability (ATPD) Form-O  (Yuker, Block & Campbell, 1960) was used to study general attitudes. The Attitudes  Towards Employing Persons with Disabilities (ATEPD) measure (Loo, 2002) was used  to study attitudes toward organizational policies and procedures for employees with  disabilities. Results suggest that Kenyan students possess less positive attitudes toward  disability than the normed populations. Seven independent variables (i.e., age, marital  status, educational focus, type of enrollment, socio-economic status, place where one  grew up, and area of current residence) were positively related to the dependent variables  (i.e., general attitudes toward disability as well as several items regarding attitudes        |
