Learning disabilities support in Kozhikode.
Shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors for children with a learning disability in Kozhikode, working to the plans your child's clinicians set.
For Kozhikode families
Families across Kozhikode come to us when a child with a learning disability needs more support than the school day or a weekly therapy session can give on its own. A remedial tutor or special educator for a child with a learning disability delivers structured literacy and numeracy programmes at home or online, helps the family and school arrange the accommodations the child is entitled to, and reports monthly on progress against agreed targets.
We work with the CBSE and Kerala state syllabus schools of Kozhikode, from the older neighbourhoods north of the centre to the Medical College side of the city, and its ICSE schools, and with the developmental paediatricians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and psychologists the family already trusts. Families in Nadakkavu, Chevayur, Eranhipalam and West Hill, and across Kerala, start the same way: a private conversation, then a written child-support profile that every candidate is matched against.
What usually helps
- Structured, multisensory literacy teaching
- Numeracy taught step by step, with concrete materials
- The accommodations the school and the board allow, arranged early
- Confidence, which is usually the first casualty
We write these into your child's support profile before anyone is placed, so the professional arrives in Kozhikode knowing the plan rather than guessing at it.

Where our role ends
A learning disability is identified and certified by a qualified psychologist or hospital team, not by us. We help families find the right assessor where needed, and our tutors work to the resulting report.
Questions from Kozhikode families
Can a shadow teacher support a child with a learning disability in a Kozhikode 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 Kozhikode do you cover?+
Nadakkavu, Chevayur, Eranhipalam, West Hill, Malaparamba, Thondayad, 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 Kozhikode 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 Malayalam 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 Kozhikode?+
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.
