Impact of poverty on the special needs population
"My son attended public primary school for three years. When he reached standard one, the principal and his teacher said that he was always disrupting the class and we needed to fix his behaviour and then bring him back. We took him for a few sessions of behavioural therapy and then we got him back in the school. After one term the principal told us that my son's behaviour didn't change and his teacher said that he won't be able to learn anything and they couldn't keep him in the school any more. We live in Rio Claro and the nearest private special needs school that we knew about was in San Fernando, and we couldn't afford to pay for school fees and transport as well. He has been at home for the past five years."
