For Amritsar families

Most Amritsar families who contact us about twice-exceptionality already have a report, a school that is willing, and a week that does not quite hold together. A special educator or remedial tutor for a twice-exceptional child works on two fronts at once. They teach around the learning disability, ADHD or autism with structured methods and practical strategies, and they keep the child stretched in the subjects where they are ahead, so that support does not turn into boredom. They help the family and the school see the whole child: very able, and genuinely struggling. A shadow teacher, where needed, helps with organisation and the social side of the day.

We work with Amritsar's CBSE schools, its Punjab School Education Board schools in Punjabi and English medium, and a smaller number of ICSE schools, and with the developmental paediatricians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and psychologists the family already trusts. Families in Ranjit Avenue, Lawrence Road, Green Avenue and Basant Avenue, and across Punjab, start the same way: a private conversation, then a written child-support profile that every candidate is matched against.

What usually helps

Real challenge in the child's areas of strength, not only support in the weak ones
Proper teaching for the learning disability, ADHD or autism that sits alongside the ability
Adults who understand why a very able child can struggle with basic tasks
Help with the frustration, boredom and perfectionism that often come with it

We write these into your child's support profile before anyone is placed, so the professional arrives in Amritsar knowing the plan rather than guessing at it.

How a placement works

Where our role ends

Twice-exceptional is a description, not a diagnosis. The learning disability, ADHD or autism is identified by a clinical psychologist, developmental paediatrician or psychiatrist, often in the same assessment that shows the high ability. Our professionals work to that report; they never assess ability or diagnose.

Questions from Amritsar families

Can a shadow teacher support a child with twice-exceptionality in a Amritsar school?+

Yes, where the school agrees. We speak to the inclusion coordinator, the principal's office or the class teacher before anyone is placed, and agree how the shadow teacher will work in class, so the support fits the school's own way of teaching.

Is this therapy?+

Our shadow teachers, special educators and tutors are educators, not therapists, and they work to the plans your child's clinicians and school set. The one therapy Special Minds provides is ABA, designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst; we do not diagnose, prescribe, or provide speech or occupational therapy.

Which parts of Amritsar do you cover?+

Ranjit Avenue, Lawrence Road, Green Avenue, Basant Avenue, Majitha Road, Mall Road, and the neighbourhoods around them. We shortlist by where your child goes to school and where you live, so the same professional can stay for the year.

Do we need a diagnosis before we contact you?+

No. Many Amritsar families come to us before there is a diagnosis, with a note from the school or a worry of their own. We tell you plainly whether we can help now, or whether a developmental paediatrician or psychologist should see your child first.

Will the professional speak our language?+

English always, and Hindi or Punjabi where the candidate pool allows. Tell us on the brief which language your child is most at ease in.

How soon can support start in Amritsar?+

It depends on who is available near you. We look for a vetted professional who lives close enough to stay for the whole school year, and we tell you plainly how long that is likely to take before you commit to anything. Remedial tutoring can also begin online, usually within two to three weeks.
