Mother's Autism Journey Inspires New Therapy
A mom named Mayuri noticed her daughter wasn't talking like other kids.
She's a therapist, so she knew something might be wrong.
After her daughter was diagnosed with autism, Mayuri saw how hard it was for parents to get good help.
She started a new kind of therapy called Arula.
It teaches parents how to help their kids at home by focusing on listening first.
Arula gives families videos and tips to make everyday activities like playing or cleaning into learning opportunities.
Many families have seen big improvements in their kids' talking, listening, and social skills.
Mayuri wants all kids to feel capable and happy in the world.
Mayuri Ramdasi, a speech-language therapist, founded Arula after her daughter was diagnosed with autism.
Arula is a year-long online therapy program that focuses on listening skills and involves parents in daily activities.
The program includes three pathways: Elevate (communication), Orientation (sensory play), and Dynamic (regulation).
Arula has helped over 450 families, with 350 currently active, across India and globally.
Parents report improvements in their children's listening, speaking, and social skills within weeks of starting the program.
