For Nagpur families

Most Nagpur families who contact us about dyscalculia already have a report, a school that is willing, and a week that does not quite hold together. A remedial tutor or special educator for a child with dyscalculia goes back to the foundations the syllabus assumes: quantity, place value and what each operation means. They teach with objects, drawings and number lines before written sums, move in small steps, and check that each step holds before adding the next. They work to the psychologist's report, keep in touch with the maths teacher about what the class is covering, and report monthly on progress the child can see.

We work with the CBSE and Maharashtra state board schools of central and south Nagpur, and the city's ICSE schools, and with the developmental paediatricians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and psychologists the family already trusts. Families in Dharampeth, Civil Lines, Ramdaspeth and Laxmi Nagar, and across Maharashtra, start the same way: a private conversation, then a written child-support profile that every candidate is matched against.

What usually helps

Number sense built first, with concrete materials before written symbols
Maths taught in small, sequenced steps, each one secured before the next
The language of maths made explicit, in English and in the home language
Calm around maths, which for many of these children has become the subject they dread

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

How a placement works

Where our role ends

Dyscalculia is identified by a clinical psychologist through a learning disability assessment, after formal schooling has begun. Any certificate for board concessions comes from a notified medical authority. Our tutors do not assess or certify; they teach to the report and to the school's plan.

Questions from Nagpur families

Can a shadow teacher support a child with dyscalculia in a Nagpur 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 Nagpur do you cover?+

Dharampeth, Civil Lines, Ramdaspeth, Laxmi Nagar, Pratap Nagar, Manish 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 Nagpur 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 Marathi 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 Nagpur?+

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.
