Contributing to discourses of dependency and development like this, ideas about disability are frequently co-opted to support neocolonial political agendas. In this sense, the links between post-colonialism and disability are direct, dynamic and constitutive in the contemporary world. As a critical discourse, post-colonialism can offer a crucial point of departure for the analysis of disability representations when they are manifested in, or projected onto, non-western cultural contexts. The readiness for acceptance of inclusion varies across countries and continents of the world. While countries within the advanced economies have gone beyond categorical provisions to full inclusion, Kenya and most countries of Africa, are still grappling with the problem of making provisions for children with special needs, especially those with handicaps, even on a mainstreaming basis. Despite the critical role of resources factors in the implementation of inclusive education, this factor has largely escaped scholarly attention.
