AB  - This study evaluates the level of special needs education literacy for sustainable change in service delivery to persons with disabilities in University of Calabar. It was guided by a research question, 180 Participants were randomly sampled from faculties and Institutes and open-ended questionnaire was designed, validated and used as instrument for data collection. Survey design and descriptive statistics were used as research design and statistical tool for data analysis. The findings reveal that majority of staff lack basic special needs education literacy; consequently, their services to persons with disabilities in different programmes in the University are inefficient. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that disability literacy awareness programme (DLAP) and blue print on disability should be developed, implemented and monitored as road map to ensuring fundamental literacy among staff in the University.
