School Shadowing and Collaboration
Specialized Shadow Teacher Training Program
The LDPA provides an integrated training program to Assistant teachers, university students, as well as parents to understand the different stages of the child's development and the different types of disabilities which allow them to shadow these students and support teachers in their classrooms.
We help schools’ administrations to locate well experienced shadow teachers when needed. LDPA certified shadow teachers are available on an ongoing basis or per the student’s need and in consultation with the school.
