Every Child Is Special

The story is all about the little boy named Ishaan who is suffering from dyslexia. Dyslexia is an impaired ability to understand and written language. A learning disorder marked by a severe difficulty in recognizing written language, leading to spelling and writing problems it is not caused by low intelligence or brain damage. (Encarta). His world seems so different from a normal eight years old child. Some people think he was dumb and no one understands him not knowing he has this so called dyslexia. He has a creative and wild imagination that brings him from a different world which is unknown to others wherein he can play and enjoy himself alone. His mother is always on his side, tie his shoes, buttoning his shirt because he doesn’t know how to care his self which sometimes not normal for an eight years old boy. He has a slow learning ability and repeated at grade 3 because he didn’t get any improvement from his class. His teachers always gave him a punishment because they thought Ishaan was very naughty. The part of this story where the teacher let Ishaan read the text on his book and said the letters was dancing , his classmates laughed at what he say and his teacher thought he is that sarcastic kind of boy  that’s why she gave Ishaan a punishment to stand up at the corridor of the room wherein the funny part of that is instead Ishaan will cry he is happy because he can go outside and will not attend the class anymore. Another realization came into my mind that if we thought of those weird people around us  they  may have that out of this world thingy imagination and something on their personality from a normal person.

                At the middle of the story there is a person who understand Ishaan and that was his teacher Ram Nikumbh. He taught Ishaan how to read, write and pursue Ishaan’s talent on painting. It was very touching part of this story because as a second parent at the second home called school, teachers should understand and know why their students like that, why they are different from other normal children and that when Ram Nakumbh noticed that Ishaan one of those children, let say that are more special from other children that needed more understanding, care, appreciation, love and attention. He believed that the children deserved to know these things.

                Sometimes I myself or some of you get this wrong perception or judgment to other people, we judged them easily by their doings. Why don’t we try to understand them and know the background of their story? We might be the father of Ishaan who judge him easily when Ishaan encountered trouble by his old fellow children. We might be some teacher of Ishaan who keep judging him who thought he is that sarcastic and naughty child. And we might be the classmates of Ishaan who bullied him because of his slow learning ability and an out of this world concentration of mind.

                When Ishaan excel on his talent everyone appreciate him. Everyone noticed him. The movie “Every Child is Special” gives us encouragement and inspiration even a person or children has this disability being different is not a bad thing. Children with disabilities should be treated as a normal one.
