Learn more at www.siswebsite.org S ince its publication in 2004, the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) has revolutionized developmental disability services worldwide. The SIS is a progressive, state‑of‑the‑art assessment tool that measures the supports a person with an intellectual disability requires in 57 life activities and behavioral and medical areas, and ranks them according to frequency and type of support. Professionals can take the assessment results and develop individualized plans based on the goals and aspirations of the person. SIS consists of an 8‑page interview form and comes with a Users Manual that explains the administration of the instrument. ◗ ◗ SISOnline® SISOnline is a web‑based system that enables you to score all the 85 items ranked by the SIS form electronically through a standard web browser, and provides a report in Adobe PDF or HTML format with information on raw scores, standard scores, confidence interval, and a percentile ranking in addition to a graphic plot of the areas assessed by the Scale. SISOnline can be fully integrated into existing legacy systems of states, counties, or large organizations. SIS Venture is only available with SISOnline. It is a portable (off‑line) version of SISOnline for data entry of the SIS assessment and can be used virtually anywhere. Once an assessment data is entered, it can be uploaded to SISOnline where it is stored securely.
