The brief

My role

Founder. I led the service model, the brand and the platform roadmap.

Overview

Special Minds supports children with special needs across the UAE with shadow teachers, therapy, SEN governesses, assessments, tutoring and staff placement for schools. Each child has one plan and one clinical lead accountable for it.

The challenge

Families arrive anxious and short on time, schools need reliable staff, and specialists need training and clear processes. The business needed one platform for all three, with the trust and accessibility the sector demands.

What we built

We built the public site around routes by service, condition and emirate, with online registration and payment, a WhatsApp intake, a staff CRM, family and practitioner portals, and a 40-hour training portal with certificates anyone can verify.

The pieces that make it work, for the people who use it every day.

01

A route for every family

Pages by service, by condition and by emirate, so parents land on the answer they searched for.

02

Register and pay online

Landing pages with checkout, signed payment confirmations and instant alerts for the team.

03

Staff CRM

Leads, clients, practitioners, placements, jobs, tasks and payments in one secure system.

04

Training portal

A 40-hour course with streamed video, quizzes, a final assessment and certificates that can be verified publicly.

05

Ready for AI search

Structured data, llms.txt and instant indexing, so search engines and AI assistants can quote it.

06

Accessible by design

Built to WCAG 2.2 AA, with colour contrast measured rather than guessed.
