Dyslexia is a kind of learning disorder about
listening, speaking, reading, writing and
implementation of the mathematical abilities, and
acquiring and use of major challenges. These
symptoms are the children of intelligence level
doesn’t indicate a problem even the intelligence of
the high levels seen in children. Albert Einstein,
Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison the
known famous persons who are dyslexia patients.
"Every Child is Special"... Yes, 2007 India-
production of bearing the name of this sentence has
been analyzed with the perspective of social services .
Now the results will be shared with you.
This film describes Ishaan's story who is eight and
suffering from learning disabilities and seen a lazy
and useless child by his family, especially his father
and teachers.
Ishaan who is in difficulty about learning and
recognition of words, sensing reverse in letters and
numbers, because of these difficulties although he
work a lot can't read and write, don't know the
concepts of back and forth or yesterday and tomorrow
in daily life, has difficulties about caution and sorting
however, in spite of these disabilities, who has multi-
dimensional thinking, an average level of intelligence
like peers and classmates and a big curious,
imagination, visual and auditory perception, strong
feelings. And also, Ishaan can draw pictures very well.
Ishaan is a dyslexia patient and a special child. His
family, friends and teachers don't know the
semptoms of this illness. This disease is an innate
disease and about some differencies the departments
of brain. It is neurological.
These children who have the average level of
intelligence have the same rights about going to the
same schools, in the same classes, and in the same
conditions to receive education like all other children
with special needs. In our country, according to law
no 5378-article 15 "It can't be privented to have
education for disabled people.Disabled children,
youths and adults have a right to get education in
equal circumstances with people who are not
disabled by considering their special conditions and
differences."
They only need their families, teachers and friends
the interest and help. Both children with dyslexia
and other children should be educated together
whatever their problems. Until these children learn
to read and write normally like other children, the
teachers who are responsible for them shouldn't
focus on their words and they make oral exams
instead of writing. The teachers should be patient
about their learning progress.
They should also use new learning methods
according to their interest and talent. Example: In
the film, Ishaan is interested in painting so his art
teacher use watercolors and silly putty to take
attention while the teacher was trying to inroduce
letters to him. School social workers should provide
the children notice their talent and show their
feelings. In order to support them the social workers
who can give direct consulting services should work
together other diciplines.
Many managements of schools may prefer to say the
family "Take your child from this school" to solve
problems or effective professional staff like in the
film. Maybe it can be easier for them. At this point,
in order to do true assesment from the children who
have different developmental specilities, social
workers employment should be supported, especially
in the education institutions dependent to the
government.
Finally, I want to share with you some thoughts
about some famous people who are dyslexia patients
and special children in their lives.
"My teacher says that I am giddy, my
father says that I am stupid. And I
decided that I am an idiot."
Thomas Edison-Scientist
"My teachers say that my mind running
slowly, I am an asocial, and I will run
after my stupid dreams until my death ."
Albert Einstein-The Scientist
"You should prefer a scientist who has
difficulty reading than a author without
scientific skills."
Leonardo Da Vinci-Artist and the Scientist
"During the school years, I feel myself a fairly
exhausted and discouraged. In the class, I
was completely excluded or out of the race."
Winston Churchill-Statesman
"I needed an education to focus attention.
My wish was to show everybody that I can
read better and make."
Tom Cruise-Player
Thank you very much 
