For Families
ARIS is a structured, step-by-step curriculum you can run at home — no teaching background needed. Whether you're homeschooling, supplementing school, or finding your footing after a new diagnosis, ARIS meets your child where they are and shows you exactly what to do next.

Ways families use ARIS
Families use ARIS in four common ways. Yours might be one of them, or a mix.
Use ARIS as the structured spine of your homeschool — a complete sequenced curriculum across foundational skill domains. Add your own enrichment, reading, and life experiences around it.
Your child is in school, but you want more — more practice, more skill-building, more structured time at home that actually moves the needle. ARIS gives you something to do on Saturday morning that isn't just hoping.
You've just gotten a diagnosis or a developmental flag, and you're trying to figure out what to do while you wait for services to start. ARIS is somewhere to begin — gentle, structured, designed for early skill-building.
Your child is in ABA, speech, OT, or another therapy. ARIS gives you a way to practice and generalize the same skills at home, in coordination with what their team is working on.
However you got here, the next step is the same — talk to a Stages specialist about where to start.

ARIS is designed for children working on foundational skills — typically ages 2 through 10, though many families use it with older children whose skill profile fits. The program meets your child at their current level, not their chronological grade.
No. ARIS was originally built for children on the autism spectrum and is used widely in special education classrooms, but families use it for any child who benefits from structured, sequenced skill-building — including children with developmental delays, speech delays, or no formal diagnosis at all.
Yes. Every lesson is written so a parent can pick it up and run it — no training, no jargon. The materials are physical and concrete. You'll have onboarding support and weekly check-ins available if you want them.
It depends on your child and your routine. Some families run a lesson in 15–20 minutes; others build it into longer learning blocks. You set the pace. The program is designed to fit around your life, not the other way around.
Yes. The ARIS subscription is month-to-month and you can cancel whenever you need to. Materials you've purchased are yours to keep.
A short, free chat with a Stages specialist is the fastest way to know exactly where your child should begin — and what to do first.
