Results: The study population consisted of 92,334 invited individuals registered as disabled in 2013–2015.
Article Synopsis
- The Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) assesses the support needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities, aiming to evaluate its validity in a large sample of 14,862 participants.
- Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the six-factor structure of the SIS, showing it is reliable across different genders, ages, and complexities of disabilities.
- However, full invariance was only observed among groups varying in disability severity, suggesting further research is needed to understand these differences and their implications.
In response to the shift from a system-centred care model to a person-centred support model, the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) has been developed as an instrument to assess the support needs of persons with intellectual disabilities. The instrument is used as a tool for constructing individual support plans, as well as a tool for resource allocation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of the SIS for persons with other than intellectual disabilities.
