This book presents an ethnographic case study of the personal
motivations, advocacy, and activation of social capital needed to
create and sustain the Immortelle Children's Centre, a private
school that has served children with disabilities in
Trinidad/Tobago for four decades. Based on narratives by parents
from the 1980's, current parents, teachers, community advocates,
and the author, who was the founder of Immortelle in 1978, the
study views the school within the context of a nation standing in a
liminal space between developed and developing societies. It argues
that the attainment of equity for children with disabilities will
require an agenda that includes a legal mandate for education of
all children, increased public funding for education, health and
therapeutic services, and an on-going public awareness campaign.
Relating this study to the global debate on inclusion, the author
shows how the implementation of this agenda would have to be
adapted to the social, cultural, and economic realities of the
society.
