Abstract	Children, just like every human, are entitled to rights which have been described by some as fundamental and inalienable to human existence. The right to education is one of such rights and is essential in the development of man and his society. Disability stands as a major hindrance in the actualization of the right to education of children in Nigeria. This paper examines the plights of Nigerian children with disabilities as it relates to their right to education. It highlights the physical, social and attitudinal barriers children with disabilities face which negate and hamper their right to education. The discussion in this paper is hinged on the legal regime that affects the right to education of the Nigerian child with disabilities which include: Nigeria's Constitution; Nigeria's Child's Right Act; the Convention on the Rights of the Child; Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and the African Charter on Human and Peoples Right. It posits that attitudinal change and need for the adoption of best practice are the panacea for the protection of the right of education of Nigerian children with disabilities.
