Consistent with the Strategic Plan reviewed by the Executive Board on July 15, 2025, ARIASE has achieved several significant accomplishments over the past year. ARIASE has continued to collaborate closely with the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) on the development and review of policies, procedures, and guidance documents impacting special education. ARIASE representatives have actively participated in RIDE subcommittee meetings and have ensured timely dissemination of relevant communications, updates, and policy information to the membership.The organization has maintained a strong presence in state-level educational initiatives and legislative discussions, particularly through engagement with the Rhode Island General Assembly's education committees.

In preparation for ARIASE's 50th Anniversary in 2026, the organization undertook a comprehensive rebranding effort, including the development of a new logo and refreshed organizational identity. A statewide student logo contest generated significant engagement, with more than 70 Rhode Island students expressing interest and participating in the process. ARIASE also completed updates to its website to enhance communication and member engagement.ARIASE's regional representatives continue to play an important role in identifying and maintaining a current inventory of state and local committees, advisory boards, and stakeholder groups on which members serve.

The organization has continued to expand and strengthen its mentorship program in partnership with RIDE while maintaining collaborative relationships with organizations such as RISSA, RIASP, CASE, and other educational stakeholders throughout Rhode Island.
