For Nagpur families

Special Minds works with families in Nagpur whose child has dysgraphia, at school, at home and online. A remedial tutor or special educator for a child with dysgraphia separates the two jobs that writing asks for: forming the letters, and turning thoughts into sentences. They teach handwriting explicitly, carry the occupational therapist's grip, posture and fine-motor exercises into the day, build typing where the school allows it, and teach planning so that the child's ideas reach the page. Where a scribe is part of the plan, they help the child practise dictating answers clearly.

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

Letter formation, spacing and pace taught explicitly and practised little and often
Typing and other alternatives to handwriting, introduced as the school permits
Written expression taught in stages: ideas, then order, then sentences
Exam arrangements such as a scribe or extra time, discussed with the school early

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

Dysgraphia is identified by a clinical psychologist as part of a learning disability assessment, and an occupational therapist assesses the motor side of handwriting. Our professionals do not assess or prescribe. They carry the therapist's exercises and the psychologist's recommendations into lessons.

Questions from Nagpur families

Can a shadow teacher support a child with dysgraphia 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.
