What difficulty the character of the film is facing?                                                     

  Dyslexia - The dyslexic patient writing is characterised by spelling error, letters order errors ,letter addition/subtraction and a small written vocabulary. The writing speed is slow the hand writing poor, with irregularity formed letters, and inappropriate use of words is common. The film explores the life and imagination of Ishaan, an eight-year-old dyslexic child. Although he excels in art, his poor academic performance leads his parents to send him to a boarding school. Ishaan's new art teacher suspects that he is dyslexic and helps him to overcome his disability.     

                                                                  
                                             

       ROLES OF PARENTS,TEACHER AND PEER GROUP TO DEAL A SPECIAL CHILD   

        1- ROLE OF PARENTS                                                                                                        

• Be a role model for parents.                                                                                            
• Pay attention to what your child loves.                                                                          
• Tune into how your child learns.                                                                                  
• Practice what your child learns at school.    
• Set aside time to read together.
• Connect what your child learns to everyday life.                                                                      Help your child take charge of his learning.                              
•  Do not over schedule your child.                                                                               
•  Allows children to learn how to be in charge of their agenda and to develop their own interests,skills,solutions and expertise.                                                                                                                                                                       

       2-ROLE OF TEACHERS

• For a child who cannot read and does not recognize pictures as depictions of actual objects and events, the 'schedule' would consist of objects that represent schedule entries. A wrapped snack bar, for instance, can represent snack time, while a book can represent circle time-when the teacher reads a story to the class.
• For a non-reader who recognizes pictures, the schedule can include a picture to represent each scheduled event. A picture of the Occupational Therapist, for instance, might signify a weekly pullout OT session.
• For the beginning reader, the schedule can pair pictures with the words describing the events to the day.
• Emotional Support: the provision of empathy and understanding such as listening when a friend is down, understanding why a friend is so mad at her parents, being that “shoulder to cry on”, etc.
• The fluent reader can use a written schedule, with words selected at the child's reading level.          3-ROLE OF PEER GROUP                                                                                                               Peers serve many important roles in the life of a developing child.  From toddlerhood through adolescence, peers serve to meet the child’s need for acceptance and belonging.                                                                         
  • Physical Support: the provision of physical belongings or material possessions, such as loaning a friend clothing, toys, money, a car, etc.
  • Social Support: the provision of acceptance, belonging, companionship such as just hanging around and talking, being available for a phone call in the evening, sitting together at a ball game, etc.
  • Intellectual Support: the provision of information such as explaining sex to a friend, giving directions to a party, discussing a school assignment or helping with homework, etc.

 ROLES OF COMMUNITY, SOCIETY AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION 

• should not point out the child by the peoples
•  Encourage the child to develop his own skill.  
•  Motivate the child so that he can do better performance.
• should not compare the child as every child born with his own skills.                                                                            

ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION     

Goal Directed: Each child must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that distinguishes his/her particular needs. The child must get the services that are designed for him/her. These services will allow him/her to reach his/her annual goals which will be assessed at the end of each term along with short-term goals that will be assessed every few months

Research-Based Methods- There has been a lot of research done about students with disabilities and the best way to teach them. Testing, IQs, interviews, the discrepancy model, etc. should all be used to determine where to place the child. Once that is determined, the next step is the best way for the child to learn. There are plenty of different programs such as the Wilson Reading Program and Direct Instruction

Guided by student performance- While the IEP goals may be assessed every few months to a year, constant informal assessments must take place. These assessments will guide instruction for the teacher. The teacher will be able to determine if the material is too difficult or to easy.                                                                             

WHICH ONE IS MORE EFFECTIVE - INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AND SPECIAL EDUCATION                              

 Special education (also known as Special needs education, Aided education, Vocational education, Limb care authority education) is the practice of educating students with special needs in a way that addresses their individual differences and needs. Ideally, this process involves the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, and accessible settings. These interventions are designed to help learners with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in school and their community, than may be available if the student were only given access to a typical classroom education.                                                                                                                                             Inclusion in education describes an approach wherein students with special educational needs spend most or all of their time with non-disabled students. Inclusion was once thought only necessary for educating students with special educational needs until dual certification of special educators as school teacher leaders.^[1] Now it is crucial that all of teachers ensure inclusive practice for all students in their classroom and the wider school. Implementation of inclusion practice varies and schools most frequently use the strategy for select students with mild to severe special needs.                                                                                                                                                                       So,inclusive education is better as it give an opportunity to special children to live their life with natural environment with other children.      WHAT LESSON THIS FILM TEACHES YOU?
1) Every Child Has His Own Way Of Learning And Understanding Things.
2) Academic Record Is Not The Only Parameter To Judge Once Ability And Performance.

3)Each individual is unique,with unique talents, but it requires encouragement and  nurturing from the individual and environment for it to sustain.

4)Good parenting/schooling/mentoring means understanding patterns and root cause,not treating for symptoms,giving benefit of doubt,not stereotype.

5)Happiness and passion comes when you do what you like and what you are good at it ,not when you are forced into doing things you don't like.                                                                                         A short description about the character of film?

Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) is an eight-year-old boy who dislikes school and fails every test or exam. He finds all subjects difficult, and is belittled and berated by his teachers and classmates. But Ishaan's internal world is rich with wonders that he is unable to convey to others, magical lands filled with colour and animated animals. He is an artist whose talent is unrecognised.After receiving a particularly poor academic report, Ishaan's parents send him to a boarding school. There he sinks into a state of fear and depression, despite being befriended by Rajan (Tanay Chheda), physically disabled and one of the top students in his class.Ishaan's situation changes when a new art teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan), joins the school's faculty. An instructor at the Tulips School for young children with developmental disabilities.                                                                                    
He reviews Ishaan's work and concludes that his academic shortcomings are indicative of dyslexia.. He attempts to improve Ishaan's reading and writing by using remedial techniques developed by dyslexia specialists; Ishaan soon develops an interest in language and mathematics, and his grades improve.                              Towards the end of the school year Nikumbh organises an art fair for the staff and students.   When Ishaan's parents meet his teachers on the last day of school they are left speechless by the transformation they see in him. Overcome with emotion, Ishaan's father thanks Nikumbh. As Ishaan is getting into the car to leave with his parents for summer vacations, he turns around and runs toward Nikumbh. The film ends with a freeze frame shot of Nikumbh tossing Ishaan into the air.
