Reduces placements
When students get the structured early instruction they need, fewer end up in costly out-of-district placements.
For Schools & Districts
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
