The Supports Intensity Scale-Children’s Version® (SIS-C®) is a standardized, norm-referenced measure of the intensity of support needs for children between the ages of 5 and 16. 

The purpose of the user’s manual is to enable users to administer and score the SIS-C with fidelity, and to interpret and use findings from the SIS-C in ways that will enhance planning processes and outcomes for children with ID.

International purchases of SIS—C products cannot be made online. International customers interested in purchasing SIS—C products need to contact Ajith Mathew at ajith@aaidd.org. Do not place your order online.

The SIS-A^® Annual Review Protocol is a questionnaire created to help planning teams identify people whose intensity of support needs might have changed in important ways since their last SIS-A assessment.

The protocol focuses on possible significant changes due to important life events and/or health or behavioral concerns, captured in 21 SIS-A items particularly critical to understanding the support need domains  of the SIS-A.

At the conclusion of the protocol, a determination is made as to whether the person’s support needs have or have not changed in important ways, and, if so, the planning team includes a description of the next steps required.

Person-Centered Planning with the SIS-A: A Guide for Planning Teams is designed for use following the administration of the Support Intensity Scale-Adult Version® (SIS-A®) to assist planning team members in using the results to develop person-centered  support plans.

The guide does not require the participation of those involved in administering the SIS-A. The intent is to assist teams in pursuing the type of personalized supports planning that meaningfully enhances a person’s quality of life.

A structured 18-step process that results in a “24-7” support plan for a typical week is outlined. Four of the 18 steps require information from each individual planning team member, and multiple copies of forms for each of those steps are included with the guide.

Cross-Cultural Quality of Life: Enhancing the Lives of People With Intellectual Disability, 2nd Ed. reflects many of the changes in the field of IDD in the first 15 years of this century, including the concept of quality-of-life (QOL).

This edition represents the work of 34 contributors from 14 countries who capture the significant role the concept of QOL has played in empowerment, self-advocacy, family support, supports planning, outcomes evaluation, continuous quality improvement, organizational transformation, and systems-level change. QOL is examined at various levels of implementation, from the individual through the macrosystem level.

The sample of cultures in this edition represents a somewhat different sample than that found in the first edition and is amplified by an extensive reference list that presents a broader, more complete view of international QOL work, as well as the voices of self-advocates.

The State of the States in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 11th Ed. is a thorough and one-of-a-kind analytical study of public spending and programmatic trends in intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) services across the United States.

As in previous editions, this edition provides statistical profiles for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as for the country as a whole.

Data presented include:  

• Out-of-home placements
• Federal, state, and local Medicaid spending
• Fiscal effort (a state’s spending for IDD services from federal, state, and local sources per $1,000 aggregate statewide personal income);
• Annual cost of care across years for individuals residing in five different settings

Authors predict future demographic and legal forces, implications of changes to Medicaid, and key challenges of the future.
