This paper examined the National School Health Programme (NSHP) and the National Policy on Education (NPE) for special needs children in Nigeria. Special needs children are also known as exceptional children. There seems to be a continuous stagnancy in the implementation of these programme and policy. Most children with special needs have not really benefited and are still a burden to their parents and the society at large. This was attributed to political issues, ignorance, corruption, poverty and cultural beliefs of the people. It was therefore concluded that what Nigeria needs now is the strongest political will at every level of governance to put things right. To improve the plight of exceptional children in Nigeria for a better healthy and enhanced meaningful living; it was also recommended among others that parents, teachers and community as a whole should explore, identify and obtain needed support and services that will enhance the well being and capacity of exceptional children for independence and inclusion in their communities.
