Shadow Support Singapore

 

At Total Communication, we’re committed to creating inclusive learning environments where every child can thrive. That’s why our Shadow Support Singapore offering is designed to provide tailored, in-school assistance for students who need that extra boost—from navigating curriculum expectations to building confidence in peer and classroom settings.

What is Shadow Support Singapore?

Our Shadow Support Singapore programme places a dedicated support professional—often called a “shadow”—alongside a student within their school day. This person works closely with the child, teachers, and parents to ensure the learning environment is accessible and the student is able to stay on track academically, socially and emotionally. We can support across our centre, home and school settings.

For example, we begin with a consultation to assess whether a shadow is required, or whether some additional educational therapy might be more suitable. Because every child learns differently, our Shadow Support Singapore is customised to fit the individual, the curriculum and the school context.

Why choose Shadow Support Singapore at Total Communication?

• Expertise in inclusive education – With nearly two decades of experience, Total Communication partners with over 20 international and local schools in Singapore.
• Collaborative approach – Our shadow works as part of a team: you (parent), the class teacher, the therapist, and the student all in sync.
• Seamless transitions – Whether the child is in mainstream school or moving between settings, Shadow Support Singapore helps bridge those gaps so that schooling becomes positive, not stressful.
• Holistic support – Beyond academic scaffolding, our shadow can assist with emotional regulation, social thinking and peer interaction: all those elements that matter for a child’s success inside and outside the classroom.

How the Shadow Support Singapore process works

1. Initial consultation & assessment
   We meet with you and your child to map out current challenges—whether they relate to attention, communication, social skills or curriculum access.
2. Individualisation & planning
   Based on assessment, we decide if Shadow Support Singapore is the best fit and plan a role specification: when the shadow will be present (in class, during transitions, during exam time), how they’ll support, and what aims we’re working towards.
3. Implementation in school (and beyond if needed)
   The shadow is deployed in your child’s school context and collaborates with the teacher, therapist and you. Progress is tracked.
4. Review & optimisation
   Regular check-ins ensure Shadow Support Singapore remains effective. If the child’s needs change, our support adapts—either by reducing support or shifting focus.
5. Exit/transition planning
   If the child becomes confident and independent enough, we gradually reduce the shadow’s direct involvement to promote independence while staying available for check-ins.

Who can benefit from Shadow Support Singapore?

• Students in mainstream or international school settings who struggle to keep pace due to learning differences, communication delays or social-emotional challenges.
• Children who may have a support need (e.g., ADHD, ASD, language delay) but still attend regular classrooms and require extra scaffolding.
• Families looking for coordinated support between home, therapy and school, ensuring continuity in learning and behaviour.
• Schools seeking a partner who can supply an experienced shadow and liaise with their staff, helping the child integrate more smoothly and meaningfully.

Why we believe in Shadow Support Singapore

At Total Communication, we’ve seen students flourish when they were given the right adult, the right support and the right context. Learning isn’t only about what’s taught—it’s about what’s possible when barriers are removed, when the child feels understood, and when school becomes a place of belonging rather than frustration. Shadow Support Singapore embodies this vision: a tailored, student-centred, school-based support system that helps unlock potential.
