Abstract
Over the years, exceptional persons have contributed immensely to national development. Their inputs have been felt or noticed in the areas of education, health, commerce, community service, music, industry, sports and social development, law and diplomacy, politics and the like. This paper discusses the concept and nature of empowerment, goals and strategies for empowering persons with special needs, and factors militating against their empowerment in Nigeria. Finally, some fundamental recommendations for effective empowerment of persons with special needs for independent living are suggested. Developing nations should adopt the strategies towards the improvement of the lot of persons with special needs as obtains in advanced countries of the world.LWATI: A Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 5 2008: pp. 28-36
