Shadow teacher support works best as part of a bigger picture. That’s why our shadow program stays connected to EAV’s in-house ABA, Occupational Therapy, and Speech/Language teams, along with your child’s classroom teachers, so what’s practiced in therapy actually shows up in the classroom and at home.
Who is a Shadow Teacher?
A shadow teacher provides additional, dedicated support in the classroom, working hand-in-hand with lead teachers to bridge the gap between a child’s needs and the resources typically available in a regular classroom setting, so they receive the social, physical, and educational support they need to thrive.
Signs Your Child Needs A Shadow Teacher
- Not participating in classroom activities
- Has difficulty communicating their wants and needs
- Struggling with social skills
- Facing academic and learning challenges

Collaborative Approach
Focused Skill Development: Small Teachable Steps
Every classroom presents its own set of challenges, which is why our shadow teachers break big goals down into small, achievable steps. Whether it’s raising a hand to ask for help or joining a group activity, we target the specific skills that will help your child participate more fully and confidently at school.
