The manipulatives, 3D objects and 2D images are easy to use, and the ARIS curriculum contains enough variety to make it fun and engaging for the students while helping them learn new vocabulary and generalize skills.

ARIS has been user friendly for the paraprofessionals in the classroom as well. We have found this curriculum to be effective for our students who are nonverbal or have a difficult time with engagement.
Lisa Tobin · Director of Early Childhood Education · Auglaize County Educational Service Center, OH
The biggest thing this curriculum has done for me is provide a structure for the adults, and I think that is key to running a successful classroom. It's not just me in here - I have four other paraprofessionals who work with me, and in the past we were constantly talking about what we needed to do next. ARIS has kept us on schedule. There is very little talking in my classroom now, which is awesome, because we're focusing on the kids and what the kids need instead of worrying about what we need.

When teachers got the ARIS kit, it was like a Christmas present with everything they needed in one box.
Stacy Barker · Principal · Lima City School District, OH · 3,394 students
As we implement Verbal Behavior programming in our district, the direct alignment between ARIS and our core instructional routines has been essential. The systematic 3D-to-2D progression - paired with highly engaging manipulatives - directly targets key verbal operants such as mands, tacts, and intraverbals, enabling students to progress rapidly from simple imitation to confident, self-initiated communication.
