Why we exist
Our mission
Support within reach. Therapy that makes sense.
Help for your child should not depend on where you live, and understanding it should not need a dictionary. So we teach the person already in the room the parent, above all the mother, who is a child’s first and longest-standing teacher.
We show you how to use the day you already have. Mealtimes, bath time, getting dressed, playing on the floor: each one is a chance for your child to listen, connect and learn. You lead, your child sets the pace, and everything we teach you is backed by research.
Our vision
A world where every child gets the help they need to do well guided at home, by the person who knows them best.
Real progress begins when we stop asking children to fit into the world and start helping the world understand them.
Our unique approach
Therapy that lives inside your daily routine.
“The home is the best therapy centre and mothers are the best therapists.”
The ARULA approach is rooted in the belief that the home is the best therapy center and mothers are the best therapists.

Meet the founder of ARULA
Ms. Mayuri Ramdasi
“My journey as a therapist gave me knowledge. My journey as a mother gave me wisdom.”
Bachelor of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology - Topiwala National Medical College | BYL Nair Hospital - 2002
- Founder & Lead Therapist, ARULA for Autism
- Director, Mayuri Ramdasi Hearing & Speech Pvt. Ltd.
- Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist & Audiologist
- Proud autism mother
Mayuri Ramdasi, with 23 years of experience as a speech and language therapist, founded ARULA based on her professional expertise and personal journey as a mother of a daughter with autism. Her approach has helped her daughter achieve all developmental milestones and become a highly independent young woman.
Believing that 'spirituality begins where science ends', Mayuri integrates practical knowledge with an artistic touch and spiritual insight to create a holistic approach. This unique methodology enables her to connect deeply with her patients and provide transformative therapy.
Over the past 2+ decades, Mayuri has continuously refined her therapeutic methods, blending modern science, emotional understanding, and spirituality. Her commitment to innovation has made her a trusted global expert in autism therapy, helping countless families achieve meaningful milestones.
“Spirituality begins where science ends. Science prepares you, but faith gives parents the strength to continue the journey.”
ARULA began with one mother, one child, and endless belief.
The reason behind ARULA
Devahuti
Fondly called Dehu
“The world does have more colours than what most can see. More seasons than what most can experience. That's Autism for you. It's the ability to find a story on the bookmark of a 1000-paged novel, and before you know it, that's the only story that would matter.”
Devahuti, fondly called by everyone as Dehu, is ARULA’s first success story. Currently aged 16, she is Mayuri Ramdasi’s younger daughter who has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). She is the source of strength and creativity to Mayuri Ramdasi’s brainchild – that is ARULA.
Growing up, Dehu had latent speech and took much longer to come up with her first words than most kids. She struggled to adapt to the pace of the neurotypical world around, emotionally. However, with Mayuri Ramdasi’s continued, unwavering and strengthening ARULA Approach, Dehu’s diagnosis has now been transformed into a High Functioning Autism.
Have her challenges completely been erased? No, but now, she has the self-dependence and independence required to face her own battles.
She didn’t just inspire a therapy approach — she inspired hope.
The people behind it
The team your family will work with.
