Start a brief

For Indore families

Most Indore families who contact us about autism already have a report, a school that is willing, and a week that does not quite hold together. A shadow teacher or special educator for an autistic child delivers structured learning and daily routines, carries the strategies set by the child's speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist or behaviour analyst into the ordinary day, and keeps a daily record so that everyone working with the child sees the same picture.

We work with Indore's CBSE schools, its MP Board schools in Hindi and English medium, and a smaller number of ICSE and international programmes, and with the developmental paediatricians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and psychologists the family already trusts. Families in Vijay Nagar, Palasia, Nipania and Saket Nagar, and across Madhya Pradesh, start the same way: a private conversation, then a written child-support profile that every candidate is matched against.

What usually helps

Predictable routines and visual schedules that survive the school run
Sensory-aware handling of noise, crowds and transitions
Structured teaching of communication and social skills
One consistent approach across home, school and any therapy programme

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

How a placement works

Where our role ends

ABA is the one therapy Special Minds provides, with every programme designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Speech therapy and occupational therapy are delivered by separately qualified practitioners; our shadow teachers and special educators work to those plans, and diagnosis stays with the child's developmental paediatrician or psychologist.

Special Minds provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy in Indore, at home, at school or online. Our guide to ABA explains how it works.

Questions from Indore families

Can a shadow teacher support a child with autism in a Indore 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 Indore do you cover?+

Vijay Nagar, Palasia, Nipania, Saket Nagar, Rajendra Nagar, Annapurna, 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 Indore 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 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 Indore?+

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.
