Our Services
Shadow Teachers / Shadow Educator
Our trained and qualified shadow teachers get the best reviews and recommendations from parents and schools in Mumbai and Pune. We have worked at almost all inclusive schools in both these cities and have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback from school counselors and resource teams. Starlit shadow eductaors provide well formulated individualised plan for each child in the school setting. Using customized strategies, we focus on academic, sensory, behavioral, social, and emotional development.
Our shadow teaching employees act as coaches, identifying opportunities for students to adapt and face challenges independently, while recognizing when assistance is needed. This approach has proven highly successful for many children. Unlike other shadow teachers who may lack the qualifications and training to foster independence, Starlit shadow teachers are trained in a variety of strategies to help your child thrive. We consider an independent child our greatest success!

Testimonials
About Us
Starlit, formerly known as Knack, was founded in 2014 by Ms. Soumya Bhatt, our Founder and Managing Director. Ms. Bhatt has over 15 years of experience of working with children with special needs. She holds a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from University of Delhi, a B.Ed in Psychology, and a licenses in Forensic Psychology Techniques and Equipment from GFSU. Her passion for working with children with special needs stems from her mother's 30-year tenure as a managing trustee at a chain of inclusive schools in Ahmedabad.
Over more than 10 years, we have been proud to employ over 250 Starlit Shadow Teachers, psychologists, counselors and special educators make a difference in lives of so many families and children by providing high quality services which are recommended by schools, parents and other therapists.
Throughout our decade of work, we have assisted around 400 children with special needs and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from their parents. We are delighted that over 50 of these children have achieved the goal of functioning independently at school as a result of our well formulated short term and long term strategies.
All through our journey of providing services to special needs children, we have worked with various educational boards that offer inclusive learning, including ICSE, CBSE, NIOS, and SSC. Our professionals are well-equipped to adapt to the specific curriculum provided by each school and tailor their approach to meet the unique learning objectives of every child.
Children with Autism, ADHD, Learning Disability, Down's Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, William's Syndrome, and other developmental disorders often face challenges at school and home. This can be due to a lack of understanding among teachers and parents regarding effective strategies for encouraging behavioral and developmental progress. To address this, our team works closely with children who have special needs. Our shadow teachers, remedial teachers and counselors create personalized, goal-oriented plans to foster gradual but consistent progress.
OUR APPROACH
We founded this organization with an approach rooted in simplicity, accountability and transparency. We begin by creating realistic short-term and long-term goals for your child and then develop intervention strategies using proven tools to help them achieve those goals. We understand that progress is ongoing, so we continuously update and adjust these goals to ensure your child is always challenged and moving forward.
Our intervention strategies incorporate a variety of techniques, including play therapy, color therapy, behavior modification, arts and crafts, fine motor activities, phonics activities, and visual and auditory aids. We believe in open communication and will send you an official session email after every session to keep you informed of your child's progress. We also understand the importance of privacy and take great care in protecting your confidentiality.
Systematic and Transparent Approach to your Child's Development
Our proven strategies target key areas like communication, attention span, behavior, speech, fine-gross motor skills, anger, social skills and activities of daily living.
We create monthly goals, prioritizing the most crucial areas first, and utilize these strategies to facilitate improvement. Our commitment to progress is unwavering; once a goal is achieved, we seamlessly transition to the next.
We share monthly goal reports and send daily session emails to keep you informed of your child's progress and to gather your valuable input. Transparency is fundamental to our approach. We are solution-focused and address any concerns or queries you may have within 48 hours.
