Archana Pandey is a Child & Adolescent Psychologist, Behaviour Therapist, and Music Therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting children with autism, ADHD, developmental differences, behavioural challenges, and diverse learning needs.

As the Founder of Aaryavart Centre for Autism & Special Needs, she has played a key role in developing Aaryavart’s multidisciplinary model of care—bringing together assessment, individualized intervention, parent training, life-skills development, inclusive education, and community participation.

Archana believes that successful intervention should extend beyond the therapy room. Her approach focuses on helping children develop functional communication, emotional and behavioural regulation, social participation, daily living skills, and greater independence, while actively involving families throughout the developmental journey.

As a Salzburg Global Fellow, she brings a broader international perspective to Aaryavart’s work and continues to explore innovative approaches to child development, inclusion, family empowerment, and technology-supported intervention.

Dr. Diksha Gupta holds a DM in Neurology from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) — India's premier medical institution. As Clinical Advisor to Aaryavart Centre, she provides neurological oversight for complex cases, reviews diagnostic assessments, and ensures therapy protocols align with current medical evidence.

Dr. Gupta specialises in paediatric neurology, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, cerebral palsy, and developmental disabilities. Her involvement gives Aaryavart a level of clinical rigour rare in autism therapy centres in Uttar Pradesh — particularly for children with complex neurological co-conditions.

Komal Dhokiya is a dually registered Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) in Canada and India, bringing advanced international expertise to her practice. She holds a postgraduate specialization in Autism and Behavioural Sciences from Canada, graduating with distinction, alongside a Bachelor’s degree in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (BASLP) from Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune.

Komal guides the design of evidence-based communication protocols, specialized speech therapies, and behavioral intervention strategies. With years of dedicated experience across international pediatric private clinics, specialized schools, and clinical assistant environments, she ensures that Aaryavart’s speech and language programs meet rigorous global standards—particularly for children navigating early communication delays and complex neurodevelopmental needs.
