Goals of the AAIDD SIS-A training program
Our aim is simple: Train professionals to be excellent SIS interviewers. This means, training a professional to understand the unique, supports-oriented intent of the Scale, develop essential skills in interacting with individuals, and clearly understand each item measured by SIS. We anticipate that by doing this, SIS assessment results will be reliable and accurate, and that service decisions made for people with intellectual disabilities will be fair and equitable.
