Dyslexia is not widely known in formal education in Indonesia, especially in regular schools. For this reason, children with dyslexia often receive poor treatment because they have difficulty writing and reading. For this reason, this research aims to identify what teachers, parents and normal students think about students with dyslexia. This research was conducted in two elementary schools in Bali. The research subjects were children who had dyslexia, their teachers, parents, and classmates. The data in this research was collected through in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed qualitatively using an interactive data analysis model. The results of this research show that children with dyslexia often receive negative labels such as "stupid" and "slow learners" from teachers, parents and their classmates. They also often receive bad treatment. In other words, dyslexic children often become victims of bullying at school and home. This makes dyslexic children have low self-esteem and are not motivated to learn. From these findings, it can be concluded that teachers' and parents' understanding of dyslexia is still low, and this has the potential to damage the learning motivation and academic achievement of students with dyslexia. For this reason, as a recommendation, it is necessary to carry out socialization and special training for teachers and parents of students in dealing with dyslexic children.
