For Schools & Districts

Personalized learning. Easy implementation.

ARIS gives superintendents, PreK and special education directors, and special education teams an evidence-based system that reduces out-of-district placements, builds staff confidence, and delivers measurable student outcomes.

ARIS curriculum in use in a special-education classroom
One of the biggest considerations for the district was that we had numerous students coming to school so deficient in basic skills that we felt we needed a program to address it.

ARIS bridges gaps other programs don't address and opens doors to learning for our students. It focuses on the skills that aren't taught in other products - communication, social interactions, academic readiness. It's why we've seen such significant and consistent gains.
Amanda Abernathy · Director of Special Education · Warren Consolidated Schools, MI · 12,660 students
My favorite aspect of ARIS is that it uses discrete trial teaching to individualize instruction and to give teachers a clear path to back chain to address learning gaps.
Kelly Davis · Director of Special Education · Russellville Independent School District, KY · 1,168 students
Right now we're using it a lot on a multi-needs campus - deaf, blind, deaf/blind, and multiple disabilities - and have found so much success with its usage. Our BCBAs and RBTs love it and feel like a burden was taken off.
Wendi Glass · Special Education Coordinator · Alabama Institute For Deaf And Blind, AL
ARIS has been an incredibly valuable tool for our ASD programs in building continuity of evidence-based instructional design across our K-12 programs. It aligns perfectly with our domain-based, tiered EBP framework and supports new and experienced teachers with delivering high-quality, specially designed instruction.
Christi Dickey · Supervisor of Special Education · Midland County Educational Service Agency, MI
We are excited to have the opportunity to use ARIS with our most fragile and complex students who require highly specialized instruction. Access to this curriculum has been instrumental in supporting our teachers and speech-language pathologists who serve students in the Hospital/Homebound program, as well as those receiving ESE services in eligible private schools.

Built for the realities of district SPED

Reduces placements

When students get the structured early instruction they need, fewer end up in costly out-of-district placements.

Builds staff capacity

ARIS gives teachers, paraprofessionals, and aides a shared playbook — so growth shows up across the team, not just with veteran staff.

Standards-aligned

Maps to state and core early learning standards as well as the VB-MAPP — fits the frameworks you're already accountable to.
