3. Discuss how significant the support system from the family, teachers, classmates and significant others to those children having neurodevelopmental disorders.
Recovery and adaptation is a personal journey with the goals of hope, empowerment and autonomy. And for many children and even adults with neurodevelopmental health challenges, recovery is often possible with a great support system.
Research has shown that having a social support system can have a positive impact ones overall mental health and development. A 2015 survey found that the average stress level for people with emotional support in place was 5 out of 10 compared to 6.3 out of 10 for people without emotional support. Having a few people that a child trust and can turn to can help them manage everyday challenges, make decisions, or even during a crisis situation.  The kind of relationship we build to the young ones greatly affects how they perceive themselves and what they will become. The lack of patience, love and kindness and most especially knowledge of one’s physical, intellectual and emotional condition can make one feels unworthy and unwanted.
In the movie, Ishaan met Mr. Ram ,a substitute art teacher. With his persistence to help the young boy, he found out the boy’s condition and so offered extra time to teach him in areas he had not mastered yet. A teacher who does not only teach, but inspires as well. The teacher’s persistence to truly understand the boy changes everything. From a lazy, dumb boy as others thought he was, turned a very smart and gifted boy in the end. 
This movie spreads a social message and awareness not only about dyslexia but mental health issues as a whole. A message to parents who want their children to be best in every field, No.1 in everything, be it studies, sports or any other extracurricular activities. Every child is different and thus their needs are different too.
Oftentimes we are blinded by the strict rules and high standards in meeting academic requirements, that, we fail to see the person’s worth. We believe that an underperforming child, someone who can hardly read and write and demonstrate certain skills and knowledge in the given situation is not worth of our time. In my personal point of view, parents, peers and teachers should help a child in every way they can. They should look into the child’s potentials as a learner and of what motivates a child and what does not. Other than a having a broad knowledge on subject-matter, curriculum and standards, teachers must have strong desire to make a difference in the lives of young people.
