Why is ARULA an online, home-based and mothers-centred approach?

Understanding ARULA

The Aim of the ARULA Approach

When it comes to helping a child on the autism spectrum, ARULA introduces a transformative approach — one that shifts the focus away from clinical environments and places healing where it belongs: at home, with the family.

ARULA is both offline and online—offline for the child, online for the parents

The child’s therapy takes place at home, delivered by the most trusted, loved, and accepted therapists in the world: the child’s own family—mother, father, and close caregivers. Meanwhile, mothers receive structured online training, empowering them with the tools and understanding needed to lead this journey.

Why Home is the Best Therapy Centre

In traditional therapy models, appointments are often scheduled at fixed times—for example, a 3 p.m. session. But what if the child isn’t ready at that hour? They might be tired, hungry, or simply uninterested. Yet, they are forced into the session, expected to sit for an hour and engage with activities chosen by a therapist—someone who is, in many cases, still a stranger to the child.

ARULA breaks away from this rigidity.

Therapy must be child-directed, not schedule-directed. The home, in contrast, offers comfort, safety, and emotional security—the most fertile ground for therapeutic work. Here, the environment can be moulded according to the child’s moods, interests, and natural rhythms. No appointments. No forced compliance. Just meaningful, in-the-moment engagement.

Parents: The Best Therapists Their Child Will Ever Have

ARULA is built on a powerful truth:

Parents—especially mothers—are their child’s most effective therapists.

Parents have two extraordinary tools that no professional can replicate:

1. Their Voice – Familiar, soothing, emotionally rich.

2. Their Touch – Comforting, reassuring, and deeply healing.

These tools form the very foundation of ARULA's therapeutic strategy. When channelled through a concrete, guided approach, they create results that even the most expensive therapies cannot match.

What parents may lack is clinical vocabulary or therapeutic terminology—but they have what matters most: unmatched emotional insight, 24/7 access, and unconditional love. ARULA fills the knowledge gap, giving them the structure, language, and direction they need to do what they already do best—but with more intention and power.

Therapy Should Start Where the Heart Is

ARULA empowers mothers and families to reclaim their central role in their child’s development. Rather than outsourcing healing to external settings, it brings everything back to where the child feels safest: home.

Because no one understands a child better than their own parents. And no place nurtures them like their own home.
