Supports Intensity Scale® (SIS)

What is the Supports Intensity Scale?

The Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) is a list of questions that focuses on the supports needed for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) to be successful. The SIS results will give useful information for creating Individual Support Plans (ISP) because it gathers a lot of information about an individual’s support needs.

The Supports Intensity Scale® (SIS) - Adult

  • is a national assessment tool designed by experts for people with I/DD disabilities ages 5 and older
  • identifies and measures the supports needed for an individual to successfully participate in various life activities
  • is conducted through a positive and complete interview process every two years for children and every three years for adults.

Who receives an SIS® assessment?

All individuals receiving services through the NC Innovations Waiver must receive an SIS.  The SIS gives very valuable information to us and to you.
