Support Intensity Scale

The Support Intensity Scale (SIS) is a tool used to measure the support needs of individuals, particularly those with disabilities. It assesses the level of assistance someone requires in various daily activities, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. By evaluating these needs, the SIS helps caregivers and support systems create tailored plans that enhance the individual's quality of life. The scale emphasizes individual differences, recognizing that support should be personalized to effectively meet each person's unique challenges and goals in daily living and community participation.
