Shadow teachers and special educators in Ghodbunder Road.

Ghodbunder Road runs north-west from Thane towards Mira-Bhayandar along the edge of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, and in recent years it has filled with large townships and high-rise societies. Many families moved here from Mumbai for more space, and parents commute to Powai, Andheri, Bandra Kurla Complex or Navi Mumbai, which makes for long days. Townships often have their own schools, shops and play areas, so a child's routine can stay within a small radius while the parents' does not. Special Minds introduces vetted shadow teachers, special educators and remedial tutors to families here. Qualifications are verified with the issuing institution, at least two references are spoken to and every candidate is interviewed twice. We contact the school before any shadow teacher is placed, review the placement at one week, thirty days and ninety days, and send daily notes and a monthly written report.

Families along Ghodbunder Road use CBSE and ICSE schools, several inside or beside the townships, a growing number of IB and Cambridge schools, and Maharashtra state board schools in English and Marathi medium. Marathi is taught across boards in Maharashtra, which adds a third language for many children. At the time of writing, October 2026, the state board's Government Resolution of 16 October 2018 covers learning disability and names ADHD, with 20 minutes extra per hour and a writer as the medical certificate allows. Cambridge and the IB ask for professional evidence and do not accept a UDID card on its own. Confirm the current rules with the school.
