For Srinagar families

Families across Srinagar come to us when a child with sensory processing differences needs more support than the school day or a weekly therapy session can give on its own. A shadow teacher or special educator for a child with sensory processing differences carries the occupational therapist's plan into the classroom and the home, manages transitions and busy moments, and helps the school make small changes that let the child stay in the room.

We work with the Jammu and Kashmir board schools that many Srinagar families use, the city's CBSE schools, and a smaller number of schools following other boards, and with the developmental paediatricians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and psychologists the family already trusts. Families in Rajbagh, Hyderpora, Jawahar Nagar and Sanat Nagar, and across Jammu and Kashmir, start the same way: a private conversation, then a written child-support profile that every candidate is matched against.

What usually helps

A day arranged around what the child can tolerate, not around the timetable alone
The occupational therapist's sensory plan carried into home and school
Quiet routes through noisy places: assemblies, canteens, crowds, traffic
Adults who read the early signs before the overload

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

Sensory assessments and sensory plans are written by occupational therapists. Our professionals implement them; they do not assess or prescribe.

Questions from Srinagar families

Can a shadow teacher support a child with sensory processing differences in a Srinagar 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 Srinagar do you cover?+

Rajbagh, Hyderpora, Jawahar Nagar, Sanat Nagar, Bemina, Nishat, 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 Srinagar 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 Kashmiri or Urdu 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 Srinagar?+

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.
