Person-Centered Planning with the Supports Intensity Scale – Adult Version®: A Guide for Planning Teams (2017)

The Person-Centered Planning guide offers a structured way for planning teams to elaborate on the support needs measured in the SIS-A. Planning teams meet and follow 18 steps that guide the teams from general support ratings to a specific individualized support plan to an evaluation and adjustment of that plan.

The success of the Person-Centered Planning process is heavily dependent on the skills and efforts of a planning facilitator. The facilitator must explain the person-centered planning process, keep notes, supply SIS-A information during meetings, and keep the group discussion focused on planning.
