Ishaan

Ishaan Awasthi struggled academically, failing third grade twice, and exhibited behaviors like daydreaming in class and difficulties with motor skills. His previous teachers missed opportunities to address his needs, failing to properly evaluate him or recognize warning signs. Teacher Ram Nikumbh identified Ishaan's characteristics like dyslexia by speaking with his parents and examining his schoolwork. He informed Ishaan's shocked parents and implemented interventions like multi-sensory letter instruction to help Ishaan learn while having fun. The film teaches about acceptance, caring for all students' unique abilities, and ensuring students with special needs can attend regular school.

behavioral characteristics? What could be the possible factors that led to teacher’s
failure to address Ishaan’s needs?

behavioral characteristics is the diversity of the students. The teachers and parents of
Ishaan failed to evaluate Ishaan about his problems and they also failed to observe the
symptoms and warning signs that he is showing. They failed to address his needs
because they do not comply with the laws and legislations of special education that’s
why they are not properly equipped to handle students with a wide range of needs.

different techniques just like counting with the use of stairs, writing letters in the sand,
writing the letters in Ishaan’s hand, molding letters with the use of clays to improve
Ishaan’s motor skills. Teacher Ram made sure that Ishaan is learning while having fun.

5. What important lesson did you get from the movie?

-      Acceptance, love, patience and care are very important for children. Parents,
teachers, and all of us have a vital role in a child's development. We should not force
them to fit in something that they don’t want or they cannot. Because all students have
unique talents and abilities that can contribute to the world that we live in. Students with
special needs have rights to be in a regular school no matter what their condition is.
