ABOUT HEALING TOUCH

About Director

Pournima Sonawane - Healing Touch Rehabilitation CentreI have been passionately working with special children since past 22 years. As a special Educator working in various organizations, I realized many children were referred to us via Psychologist, Doctors, and Schools but many kids still sitting at home without Special Education and without Therapy.

Due to lack of awareness and poverty sometimes parent’s denial. They do not accept child’s difficulties.

As India is a growing and developed Country in terms of education, we are yet to develop this corner of education which is needed for our children.

Being a certified Special Educator, Remedial Teacher and Counselor I must have to become a part to reduce these challenges. And wonderful thought come to my mind that I will devote my education and knowledge to Special Children. I can create platform to encourage and make independent to children who need special care. I established my own Rehabilitation Center with my professional Team. The name of our institute is “Healing Touch” we can Heal & Treat children through therapies.

Initially it was very difficult to manage but having wonderful support from Team (Special educator, therapist, parents) without getting defeated we overcame all challenges and continued our work with positivity from past 4 years.
