What a shadow teacher does
Our shadow teacher sits quietly alongside your child, helping them follow instructions, stay on task, manage transitions and join in with classmates. The aim is never to do the work for them, but to give just enough support for them to succeed.
Working with the school
We work hand in hand with teachers, so classroom support matches the goals set at home. Regular updates keep you, the school and our team aligned on what's working.
Fading to independence
Using fading techniques, we reduce prompts step by step as your child gains confidence. Success is the day your child no longer needs us in the room.
