Developmental delay and complex needs support in Indore.
Shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors for children with developmental delay in Indore, working to the plans your child's clinicians set.
For Indore families
Most Indore families who contact us about developmental delay already have a report, a school that is willing, and a week that does not quite hold together. A special educator for a child with developmental delay or complex needs provides consistent daily support at home, works to the plans of every clinician involved, and acts as the family's coordinator so that nothing falls between the gaps.
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
- Daily living skills taught patiently and repeatedly
- A single, coordinated plan across several professionals and the whole household
- Careful handling of transitions and new settings
- Written records that a family can rely on
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.

Where our role ends
Children with complex medical needs may require a nurse or medical caregiver. We say so when that is the case, and we do not place an educator in a nursing role.
Questions from Indore families
Can a shadow teacher support a child with developmental delay 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.
