Like stars on earth, every child is special

1. What is the root cause of the learning problem?
Ishaan Awasthi was suffering from a neurological disorder termed as “dyslexia” which hinders him to learn in a spontaneous manner. He had a hard time remembering and understanding the differences and the relationship of each letter thus precluding him from learning how to neither read nor write. He also was not able to understand a little complex instruction that’s why he failed to go after the orders of his parents and teachers. Physically, his fine as well as gross motor skills were not well refined thus he was not able to neither catch a ball nor tie his shoes. Ishaan’s disorder is the main reason why he failed to learn along with his classmates.
