The Beep Special Education Support / Shadow Teacher certification checks whether you understand the support role in an inclusive classroom — helping one child take part alongside peers under the class teacher's lead, and working with parents and the school's qualified special-education staff on the child's IEP.
It also covers the everyday tools of the role: awareness of autism, ADHD and learning disabilities without diagnosing, visual schedules and first-then boards, prompting and fading to build independence, positive reinforcement and ABC recording, keeping a child safe during a meltdown, and sharing observations rather than labels.
The assessment takes about 7 minutes, is auto-scored, and produces a certificate with a unique verifiable ID you can share with anyone. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.

Special Education Support / Shadow Teacher certification FAQs
Does this make me a special educator or a therapist?
No. This is Beep's own knowledge assessment, issued and assessed by Beep only. It is not an RCI-registered special educator qualification or a therapy qualification, has no affiliation with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), any government body, board or brand, and is not a licence.
Does it teach me to identify or diagnose conditions?
No. It covers awareness of common conditions so you can observe and share notes with the class teacher and parents; diagnosis is always by qualified professionals.
How is this different from the Early Childhood Education certification on Beep?
That certification covers whole-class early-years teaching. This one focuses on one-to-one support for a child in an inclusive classroom.
