Description

Here, a frustrated mother and her son in India are tangled in a repeat of a scene that can be seen in families with children with dyslexia every evening as they work toward completing the child's homework. Both feel helpless. The mother thinks her son's carelessness is the reason for his mistakes, whereas the real reason lies elsewhere. Soon, the problem will spin out of control as the child with dyslexia faces increasing academic challenges. It is estimated that at least 10 percent of India's children have dyslexia (Krishnakumar, 1999; P. Mirchandani, personal communication, June 6, 2006). Parents and teachers struggle as they do not know the reasons for the child's failure and hence label the child as lazy (Mirchandani, 2006). In this article, we will first discuss the multi-tiered Indian education system. Then, using dyslexia as an example, the authors will explain the many challenges in identifying learning difficulties, to illuminate the rough road ahead for special needs children in inclusive settings. The burgeoning efforts of individuals and organizations to support and educate children with disabilities also will be discussed. Finally, the authors will present recommendations.
