For Ghaziabad families

Special Minds works with families in Ghaziabad whose child has dyslexia, at school, at home and online. A remedial tutor or special educator for a child with dyslexia teaches reading and spelling explicitly: sounds to letters, letters to words, in short sessions that build on each other. They work to the psychologist's report, adapt the approach for the second language the school teaches, help the child practise with extra time or a reader where the board allows one, and report monthly against agreed targets. A shadow teacher, where the school agrees, carries the same approach into class.

We work with the CBSE schools most Ghaziabad families use, a smaller number of ICSE schools, and schools on the Uttar Pradesh board, and with the developmental paediatricians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and psychologists the family already trusts. Families in Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara and Raj Nagar Extension, and across Uttar Pradesh, start the same way: a private conversation, then a written child-support profile that every candidate is matched against.

What usually helps

Structured, multisensory reading and spelling, taught in small steps and revisited until they hold
Reading support in every language the school teaches, including Hindi or the regional language
The accommodations the school and the board allow, arranged in good time
Adults who separate reading difficulty from intelligence, and say so to the child

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

How a placement works

Where our role ends

Dyslexia is identified by a clinical psychologist, usually working with a paediatrician, and only once formal schooling has begun. A certificate for board concessions is a separate step, through a notified medical authority. Our tutors and educators do not assess or certify; they work to the report.

Questions from Ghaziabad families

Can a shadow teacher support a child with dyslexia in a Ghaziabad 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 Ghaziabad do you cover?+

Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara, Raj Nagar Extension, Raj Nagar, Kavi Nagar, 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 Ghaziabad 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 Urdu 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 Ghaziabad?+

Once the child-support profile is written, a shortlist usually follows within two to four weeks, and a trial period comes before either side commits.
