There are various forms of disability namely, vision impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, mental health conditions, intellectual disability, acquired brain injury, autism spectrum disorder and physical disability. The university of Nairobi management has appointed a Disability Mainstreaming Committee to review the existing policies and ensure that all the members of staff leaving with any form of disability are captured. The current policy seems to lack the exact number of staff with disabilities.

The aim is to provide an environment where there is equality of opportunity and where persons with disability can enjoy a quality experience while studying and working or visiting the University of Nairobi premises.
