A shadow teacher supports the child inside the school day, at the school's invitation. A special educator leads structured learning and routine at home. Many families need one professional for both, and we place for that where the hours allow.
03
We provide one therapy: ABA (applied behaviour analysis), with every programme designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, at home, at school, online or at a centre. We do not provide diagnosis, assessment for certification, speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychology or medical care; those come from separately qualified professionals, and we coordinate with yours, with your consent.
04
Yes. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) assesses your child's skills, designs the programme with you, and supervises the trained therapists who deliver it at home, at school, online with parent coaching, or at a centre. Progress is reviewed against measurable goals. See ABA therapy in India for how it works.
