Review
This video is a well turned out visual animation which shows the daily struggles of a student who suffers Learning Disabilities. Unfortunately, children with LD are generally ridiculed at school and in their environment. This leads to a totally collapse of their self-esteem and as a result of this, the student is not able to learn anything anymore. Even if there is any savable resource in terms of learning, it simply disappears because of the humiliating acts of other people. The animation is easy to understand and the conveyed message is clear: Supporting and encouraging students with Learning Disabilities.
