I heard a saying once that will always stick with me. It was said by a parent of a special needs child. She said that the only disability that her child had was the disability that the State imposes. That is a relevant point because sometimes the lack of resources compounds the disability rather than addressing the child's ability. Perhaps that feeds into the question.
