Empowering Shadow Teachers to Support Children with Special Needs in Mainstream Schools
Inclusive education is increasingly becoming a priority in mainstream schools. Children with special needs—such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), Intellectual Disabilities, and emotional-behavioral challenges—require individualized and consistent support to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Shadow teachers play a crucial role in bridging the gap between the child’s needs and the classroom environment. However, many shadow teachers begin their roles without structured professional training. This program aims to equip shadow teachers with essential knowledge, practical strategies, and professional skills to effectively support children with special needs in inclusive school settings.
