Abstract

Lifespan development disorders are psychological disorder, which are characterized by
abnormal development. It is a severe development delay that occurs to certain people.
Since learning disability is one of major lifespan development disorders under a
psycholinguistic umbrella, this study aims to elaborate and analyse learning disability of
dyslexia suffered by Ishaan, the main character in “Like Stars on Earth” movie as the
unit analysis. This study adopted a descriptive qualitative approach by using a discourse
analysis method. The film has shown that Ishaan has 31 out of 37 symptoms of dyslexia.
Ishaan also experienced emotional and social problems due to wrong perceptions from
his surroundings, which make him more depressed, and unable to show his real talent and
full potential. It is inferred that dyslexics needs to get the support from parents,
teachers and people surrounding to find out their talents to improve their self
confidence as early as possible. In addition, specific holistic approach dealing with
social and emotional factors conjunction with education aspect must be provided as
well.
