Supports Intensity Scale
Iowa is piloting a new standardized assessment tool for individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or other developmental disabilities called the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS). Developed by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD), the SIS is designed to measure the intensity of supports that each person with an intellectual or developmental disability needs in order to fully participate successfully in community life. This pilot project will take place in Boone, Franklin, Hamilton, Humboldt, Madison and Wright counties. It will also be piloted with Money Follows the Person participants and residents of Woodward and Glenwood Resource Centers. More information on the SIS assessment tool may be found at http://www.siswebsite.org/.
