Partnership Home > Available Topics > New Training: Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) and the PA Plus
NEW Training!
Everyone who receives waiver services through the MR system must have a SIS (Supports Intensity Scale) and PA Plus interview. The questions in the SIS are the newest way of measuring the supports a person with disabilities needs. The PA Plus is what Pennsylvania added to be sure all of a persons needs are measured.
This training explains the purpose of SIS and the PA Plus, describes what a SIS interview is like, and explains how the information is used. This training includes an example of a self-advocate who needs services so you will see what SIS measures. By the end of the session, you will know how to take part in a SIS and PA Plus interview.
