About
About Us
Divyam is more than a therapy center—it’s a carefully nurtured space where connection, compassion, and science meet. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Dhanashri Pawar, a medical doctor, autism coach, and parent, Divyam emerged to fill a deep gap in India: holistic, evidence-based support for children with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other neurodivergent profiles.
Our Vision
To nurture mentally and emotionally independent children who are ready to learn, connect, and thrive — building age-appropriate skills with confidence, curiosity, and joy.
We help your child grow in every way—feel calmer, connect better, think sharper, build skills, and handle the world more easily—all under one roof.
We accept every child exactly as they are, no matter how severe or embarrassing the behavior, and make sure parents feel truly understood.

As per their mood, energy, and readiness so learning feels easier, and wins come quicker without stress.
We’ve cracked the code on turning proven scientific methods from textbooks into tiny, practical steps for communication, interaction, learning, and behavior—so your child keeps winning and you see real progress in daily life.
Our ultimate goal? Raise mentally independent children—and empowered parents—so every neurodivergent child can become a Divyam—i.e., someone who blooms with possibility, belonging, and purpose.

What began as a mother’s search for answers grew into a place of healing and hope for many. As a doctor and RDI® Consultant, I’ve walked alongside over 200 families—but it’s my own journey as a parent that has shaped everything. I’m deeply grateful for every step and believe every child can bloom when their parent is seen, supported, and shown how.
Meet Dr. Dhanashri Pawar — MBBS and DPH, with nine years of experience as a Medical Officer in Mumbai’s Public Health Department. A certified Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) Consultant from the USA, she has also trained internationally in Sensory Integration (USC, USA), Touch for Health Kinesiology (Australia), and several other allied international courses. With over 10,000 hours of coaching experience, she has guided more than 200 families across India and beyond. She is the founder of Divyam Mind Guiding Academy and the Centre for Autism in Mumbai, and the author of Autism, I Understand You, available now on Amazon.
​
Her vision is an India where hearing “Autism” or “any delays” doesn’t overwhelm parents with fear or confusion, but fills them with hope and clear direction. A place where every child gets the right guidance to grow, and every family feels understood, supported, and shown exactly what to do—one simple step at a time—so their child can become independent and thrive.
​
Dr. Dhanashri’s approach, rooted in Buddhist principles and neuroscience, helps parents create a nurturing home where their child can grow physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally—using simple, everyday moments like mealtime, playtime, and bedtime as powerful opportunities for development. She believes that a loving home and the right approach are the true keys to unlocking a child’s fullest development.​
