We often come across cases of children, facing certain learning disabilities which go unnoticed till it ruptures into a point of no return. Often segregated, victim of social carelessness, domestic ignorance and the institutional insensitivity, often identified as cases of mentally retarded, physically challenged or a victim of peer pressure. We take a closer look with their points of view at their challenging lives, trying to find the beginning of an individual story, unheard and untold...!

Kunal a Special Child
Kunal Kumar is a now a 14 year old student studying in class 10th. Though Kunal is a very hard working student but nowadays he is unable to understand the instructions imparted in the classrooms. May be due to his poor I.Q level he could be facing the difficulties, however his dedication and hard work are sources of inspiration to others.
Conversation between Me and Kunal.
Vineet- When teacher teaches you in the class do you really understand or not?
Kunal- I try to understand but after some time I use to forget.
Vineet- I observe you in the class and you are mostly seen busy with studies, does it really benefit you?
Kunal- I am always trying to be better in studies and it goes well when I study at home and school but when it come to write in examination or if I try to express my knowledge orally I become weak and then everything becomes difficult for me.
Vineet- Aunty you must have many expectations from your son and you must expect but what is the problem that gives you tension about Kunal?
Conversation between Me and Aunty (Mother of Kunal).
Conversation between Me and Aunty (Mother of Kunal).
Aunty- He works very hard on his studies and there is a feeling of tension in his mind when the exams come near. He learns in the evening and in the next morning he says he forgot what he read.
Vineet- From when does Kunal have this problem?
Aunty- This problem started when he was 3 years old. We spent a lot of money for his treatment and now he has improved a bit. He wants to study that’s why we are giving him chance to study. Making him sit in home will neither benefit him nor will we be benefited. We think that if he studies then he will get some help from that. For exams he says no to studies. He has the fear of examination and does not feel like appearing in exams. He says that he may fail so he won’t appear in exams. I feel so sorry for him but proud of my child.
Vineet- Thank you Aunty. I think your views will support Kunal to sustain in the future...
Our observation:
After viewing this video we could see how the effects of learning disabilities when not diagnosed at the early or foundation stage of a child’s career makes it so difficult at a later stage where parents are compelled to go for clinical treatment of a symptom if spotted at the right moment.

Aakash: A Special Child!!
We observed the behavior of Aakash, a new student of our school who just started his school life. He is pretty much different than the other newcomers....Most of the time he is seen enjoying his own life with his own thoughts. He is not afraid of teachers and is always walking and running around cheerfully. The teachers love him the way he is and is always helping him with his studies but they say that he is not much into studies. And that during music class he plays the drum heart-fully.
