Why ShadowNest?
ShadowNest offers personalized in-class support for children with special needs in UAE schools. Our trained shadow teachers work hand-in-hand with families and professionals to ensure each child thrives emotionally, socially, and academically.
Many children with learning or behavioral challenges need more than classroom instructions to thrive. Shadow teachers offer essential in-class support tailored to each child’s needs — especially those with Autism, ADHD, Speech Delays, or Emotional and Behavioral struggles.

About ShadowNest
ShadowNest is a Dubai-based platform that connects families with trained and compassionate shadow teachers who provide essential in-class support for children with special educational needs.
Founded by Dr. Azizreza Ghasemzadeh, a renowned speech therapist and child psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience in the UAE, ShadowNest was born from a deep commitment to inclusive education and holistic child development.
At ShadowNest, we believe that every child deserves personalized guidance to succeed socially, emotionally, and academically. Our shadow teachers work side by side with children inside the classroom, offering one-on-one assistance that fosters independence, focus, and confidence — especially for those with conditions such as autism, ADHD, learning disorders, and behavioral challenges.
We collaborate closely with families, therapists, and school staff to ensure that our support is tailored to the unique strengths and needs of each child. All of our shadow teachers are thoroughly trained and selected based on their empathy, professionalism, and ability to adapt to diverse learning environments.
Dr. Ghasemzadeh’s longstanding work with children and families in Dubai — combined with his official certifications from both the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the Community Development Authority (CDA) — ensures that ShadowNest operates with clinical precision and ethical integrity.
Whether your child needs classroom support, behavioral coaching, or emotional regulation strategies, ShadowNest is here to help every step of the way.
