For Ghaziabad families

Special Minds works with families in Ghaziabad whose child has dyspraxia, at school, at home and online. A shadow teacher or special educator for a child with dyspraxia helps with the planning and coordination that other children manage without thinking: getting ready for school, copying from the board, packing a bag, joining in at break. They carry the occupational therapist's exercises and strategies into the day, break tasks into steps the child can practise, and help the school make allowances in written work and physical education so that the child's effort shows, not only the result.

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

The occupational therapist's motor plan carried into dressing, writing and play
Tasks broken down and taught in sequence, with time to practise each part
Typing, pencil grips and other supports the therapist recommends
Help with organisation: the school bag, the timetable, the morning routine

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

Dyspraxia is assessed by a developmental paediatrician and an occupational therapist, and the RPwD Act lists it within specific learning disabilities. The occupational therapist sets the motor programme. Our professionals carry it into lessons and routines; they do not assess or prescribe.

Questions from Ghaziabad families

Can a shadow teacher support a child with dyspraxia 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.
