About Dr. Dhanashri Pawar
Dr. Dhanashri Pawar is a dedicated medical doctor, RDI program Consultant, and mother of a child with Autism. After her son's diagnosis, she shifted from a career in the Government Health Sector to become a passionate advocate for children with neurological challenges. With over a decade of experience and training in global evidence-based therapies, Dr. Pawar founded Divyam Mind Guiding Academy in 2017 to address the lack of resources and support for children with Autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurological conditions in India.
Her academy offers customised, holistic programs combining physical, nutritional, emotional, and spiritual approaches to brain development. Dr. Pawar’s methods have transformed the lives of children, improving their communication, emotional regulation, and independence. With over 10,000 hours of coaching, she has empowered more than 200 families through Buddhist-philosophy based parenting and home-based strategies, believing that parents are the key to unlocking their child’s potential.
Dr. Pawar’s mission is to create the highest functioning and happiest children paving the way for a more joyful and harmonious world. She envisions a future where every neurodivergent child can become a "DIVYAM"—a person who achieves their fullest potential—with the support of empowered parents, families, and communities. The focus is on 3 things:
DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL REGULATION, COGNITIVE SKILLS, AND SOCIAL CONNECTIONS
SIMPLIFYING COMPLEX NEUROSCIENTIFIC STRATEGIES INTO EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES
FOSTERING STRONGER PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH MINDFULNESS AND HOLISTIC CARE
