Henteleff bases his arguments on the Charter's equality provisions. He says the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled quite explicitly about the level of service that should be provided to special needs kids. That is profoundly important to people with disabilities. I think that special needs kids are more equal than any other member of society in Canada, and they have a constitutional right to get all the services they need to avail themselves of all the help the service system provides. Despite such clear rulings, Henteleff says getting the services is still difficult.

Henteleff is frustrated. Monkeying around in Bolivia, where a learning center has been named after him. The only way ultimately in each province you are going to achieve progress is not only action by individuals, but action to attack was is the systemic cancer that has invaded so many of our school systems, in not dealing with whole classes of children who have a common problem. Henteleff has no illusions that the fight against the 'cancer' is easy, or short. He's already spent most of his life in it.
