What They Have to Say About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need a clinical diagnosis to have a shadow teacher?
Yes. A clinical diagnosis helps identify your child’s specific learning or behavioral needs. This forms the foundation for creating an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that guides both classroom and therapeutic support.
My child already attends Speech or Occupational Therapy—do they still need a shadow teacher?
Yes. Therapies focus on skill development, while the shadow teacher ensures these skills are applied in everyday classroom settings. Together, they help your child generalize learning and build real-world independence.
What is a shadow teacher, and how can they help my child?
A shadow teacher (or learning support assistant) works one-on-one with your child inside the classroom to make learning more inclusive and less stressful. They assist with classroom participation, social interaction, and achieving Individualised Education Plan (IEP) goals. Shadow teachers are especially helpful for neurodivergent children or those with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, or slow learning needs.
How can I find out if my child needs a shadow teacher?
