Shadow Teacher Program
After an initial consultation with the BCBA, a comprehensive assessment is conducted by our therapists to develop a customized plan and program for the shadow teacher to implement with the student at school or daycare.
The shadow teacher is specially trained and supervised by the BCBA to provide consistent and effective support.
A key aspect of our approach is the emphasis on collaboration and teamwork between the shadow teacher and a multidisciplinary team—including therapists, educators, and medical professionals—to ensure comprehensive and holistic care for the student. The shadow teacher also participates in the student’s therapy sessions to receive direct guidance from the therapist, ensuring continuity and alignment between therapy and the educational environment.
To maintain effective communication and progress, monthly meetings are held with parents and the multidisciplinary team to review the student’s development, update recommendations, and adjust the support plan as needed.
