 SIS-A, 2nd Ed.  Released in January 2023

The Supports Intensity Scale - Adult Version® (SIS-A®) was first published as the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) in 2004 and was re-named the SIS-A (first edition) in 2015. The second edition of the SIS-A was released in January 2023 and included updated norms as well as several enhancements.

SIS-A Uses

The SIS-A has played an important role in accurately identifying and measuring the intensity of supports that people with IDD need. Information gathered from the SIS-A contributes to the development of high-quality person-centered plans to help people achieve positive outcomes. SIS-A information is also used by providers and governmental entities to help understand the needs of the population they support and to more equitably allocate resources.
