Nandita de Souza is a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, whose raison d'etre is children and all who care for them. She is the Director of the Sethu Centre for Child Development & Family Guidance in Goa, a multidisciplinary facility that offers family centred care using a strengths-based approach to neurodivergent children and their families. Nandita is a self ‘ADHDvocate’ who wants to change the world and have fun at the same time. That’s easier than finding her car keys.
