In Jamaica the cost of psychoeducational evaluations can cost parents an estimated $35,000 JMD (approximately $230 USD). Access to tiered intervention and specialized education in Jamaica is currently dependent on the economic status of families.

During our most recent visit to Jamaica we visited our school partners and made a monetary donation. School leaders on the island like Principal Aldayne Porter strive to remove barriers for families.

As Principal Porter stated micro donations often have a macro impact.
