Delhi: the local picture
Delhi NCR has a dense network of child development centres, autism and early intervention clinics, and inclusive CBSE and international schools, especially in South Delhi, Gurugram and Noida. Under the RPwD Act 2016, schools are expected to admit and support children with disabilities, which has increased demand for resource-room teachers and shadow teachers.
Many families of autistic children and children with ADHD hire shadow teachers directly or through therapy centres. Registered special educator posts need RCI qualifications, but shadow, assistant and mainstream inclusion roles value practical SEN training and experience.

What employers in India look for
