Shadow teachers and special educators in Defence Colony.

Defence Colony is an established South Delhi colony, originally laid out for families of defence personnel and now home to long-settled Delhi households alongside professionals in law, government and business. Its central position means children here attend schools across central and South Delhi. Many families prefer a quiet, well-organised arrangement: one professional, a clear plan, and a written record they can share with the child's doctor or therapist. Special Minds introduces vetted shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors to families here, speaks to the school before a shadow teacher is placed, and reviews each placement at one week, thirty days and ninety days.

Families in Defence Colony mostly use long-established CBSE schools in central and South Delhi, with some IB options. Some of these schools have taught children with additional needs for years; others are newer to having a shadow teacher in the room. At the time of writing, September 2026, a CBSE circular from August 2025 asks its schools to follow inclusive practice and have a special educator. That does not replace a shadow teacher, but it gives the school's own staff a role in the plan. Confirm the current guidance with the school.
