Special Education in Green Park

Special education in Green Park is teaching, not therapy, and it is not tuition either. Tuition re-teaches the same material the same way, more slowly. Special education changes how it is taught, so that a child who cannot learn it one way can learn it another. The short answer is our Malviya Nagar centre, because we do not have a centre in Green Park. Most of the work is done alongside a school rather than instead of one.

Which eMbrace centre Green Park families use

Our nearest centre to Green Park is in Malviya Nagar, two Yellow Line stops south, at FC-29, Plot No. 5, Geetanjali, beside Malviya Nagar Metro Station Gate No. 1. We do not have a centre in Green Park.

From Green Park, Yusuf Sarai, Sarvapriya Vihar and Hauz Khas Enclave the run down Aurobindo Marg is direct, and the metro covers it in two stops on one line with no change.

Because the centre is inside Rainbow Children's Hospital, a child who needs speech and language therapy or occupational therapy after assessment continues in the same building with clinicians who already have the report.

Sessions run weekly or twice weekly, and unlike our therapy services a good deal of the value sits outside them, in what a school agrees to do differently. That means the liaison work matters as much as the teaching hours, and it is worth telling us on the intake call how willing your child’s school is to adapt, because it changes what we aim at.

For parking, the nearest drop-off point and the quickest route at your particular time of day, ask on the intake call. Traffic and parking around every one of these centres change enough through the day that current directions from someone who works there beat anything we could fix on a web page.

When special education is the right answer

It is the right answer when a child has the ability to learn the material and cannot access it the way it is being delivered. It is the wrong answer when the underlying issue has not been identified yet, which is why a good deal of this work follows an assessment rather than preceding one.

• Years of extra tuition that has not closed the gap
• An assessment identifying dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia or an intellectual disability, with nobody teaching to it
• A child falling further behind each year despite understanding the ideas when they are explained aloud
• A school willing to adapt but unsure what to actually change

How we work with schools directly is set out on our schools partnership hub.

How the work is planned

It starts with a written baseline of what a child can currently do, taken from testing and from their actual schoolwork rather than from marks. From that we write an individualised education plan: a small number of targets, the methods that will be used, and a date on which it is reviewed.

The teaching itself is structured and multisensory, particularly for literacy and number, which means material is presented through more than one channel and built in a deliberate sequence rather than assumed. Progress is measured against the plan, not against the class.

What the work looks like here

From Green Park the referrals are the youngest, and the work is early structured literacy: phonics taught in a deliberate sequence, multisensory, at a pace set by mastery rather than by a syllabus.

At this age the gap is small and closing it is realistic, which is the argument for not waiting until a child has decided they are bad at reading.

Who you would see at our Malviya Nagar centre

Dr Supriya Malik, Founder and CEO, and Head of the Child Development Centre at Rainbow

PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Birmingham, where she was also a postdoctoral researcher, and a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society in the UK. She designed the assessment and therapy pathways every eMbrace centre runs.

Special education runs at our Malviya Nagar centre inside Rainbow. The special educator named on this site, Dhriti Dharana, is based at Vasant Kunj, so who you would work with at Malviya Nagar is confirmed on the intake call rather than assumed here. Ask when you call and we will tell you before you book.

Schools and services we already work with

This is the service where the schools we work with matter most, because most of the work happens in partnership with one. Around Green Park those include:

Our Malviya Nagar centre runs inside Rainbow Children's Hospital, New Delhi, which is why occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, behaviour therapy and special education sit in the same building as assessment.

Since 2024 we have run screening camps, teacher training and on-site counsellor support at Woodstock School in Mussoorie, with a referral pathway into full psychoeducational and cognitive assessment.

Fees, review, and working with the school

Fees are quoted upfront on your intake call and depend on frequency and on whether school liaison is part of the arrangement.

Plans are reviewed on a set date, usually each term, against the targets written at the start. Special education is slower than families hope: it is skill building, and skills accumulate rather than arrive. We would rather set that expectation at the beginning than have you judge the first term against a hope nobody stated out loud.
