HOW COME SAMMY SO DUNCEY?
Twenty five years ago the Telephone Service of Trinidad and Tobago phone directory had one listing for a Special Education school. Today there are exactly nine (9) schools listed that cater to children with learning difficulties, slow learners and disabilities like, down syndrome, dyslexia, autism and brain damage.

LET'S SPECULATE
One theory is that the evolution of our culture and the lifestyle of an average Trinbagonian is directly causing this undesirable phenomenon. We have developed a culture of "immediate gratification" and a propensity to party which "naturally" means the use of alcohol, cigarettes and illicit drugs.
Go to any big fete, anytime of the year, and you will see how a cross section of our society really live. Excesses are the order of the day and it all starts at a younger and younger age. Add to that mixture, the affect on our digestive systems from eating a wide variety of processed foods and meats that can potentially affect our genes. The conclusion is that our lifestyle without question contributes significantly to the high demand for Special Education our society today.
