Shadow Teacher

What Is a Shadow Teacher & Does My Child Need One?

A shadow teacher is a trained one-to-one aide who helps a child access and participate in a mainstream classroom, with the goal of gradually fading support as independence grows. Whether a child needs one depends on their individual profile of strengths and needs, decided with the school and therapy team. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
