About Special Minds India
Considered care, in India.
Special Minds began in Dubai placing learning-support assistants and shadow teachers with families and schools, under clinical supervision. Indian families asked for the same standard at home.
What we are
An introduction and placement specialist, not a clinic.
We are an introduction, placement-support and training specialist for special educational needs. We find, verify and present shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors, we supervise the placement afterwards, and we train the people who do this work.
We are not a clinic. We do not employ therapists to treat children, and we do not diagnose or assess for certification. Where a family already works with a speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist or psychologist, our professional works to that clinician's plan and we coordinate with them, with the family's consent.

India
Vetted, supervised placements
Shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors for families in 55 cities across India, including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and online tutoring anywhere in India.
Training
Training the wider field
We train the practitioners we place, and open that training to the people already in a child's life.
How we operate in India
A written agreement, and supervision in India.
Special Minds India is the brand office in India of Special Minds, whose main company is based in Dubai, UAE.
Placements in India are made under a written family agreement that names the entity you are contracting with, who engages the professional, and what each side is responsible for. Our own registration details are stated in that agreement and disclosed on enquiry.
Supervision is delivered by our special educators in India, with clinical input from the team in Dubai where a family wants it.
What we hold to
Why families choose us.
- 01
The vetting is real
Documented, with a trail a family can follow: institutions contacted, references spoken to, interviews scored.
- 02
A specialist writes the profile
The person who writes your child's profile is a special-needs specialist, not a salesperson.
- 03
We stay in the placement
Reviews on a schedule, a monthly report, and replacement under guarantee.
- 04
We say when you need a clinician
And not an educator. We would rather lose a placement than blur that line.
- 05
Safeguarding is the whole job
A signed code, a named safeguarding lead, and written rules for everything that could go wrong.
- 06
One plan around the child
School, home and clinicians working from the same profile and the same record.
