Before you start

  • The person’s goals, daily support needs, communication preferences, health and safety risks, current supports, and people they want involved.

Who to contact

The support coordinator coordinates the assessment and Individual Support Plan.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the named support coordinator and the dates for the SIS assessment and person-centered planning.
  2. Prepare examples of the frequency and intensity of support needed across daily life.
  3. Review the resulting support-needs information and build the Individual Support Plan around the person’s goals and required services.
  4. Record unresolved authorization, documentation, or provider-selection tasks.

Expected next

A completed assessment, documented support needs, and a person-centered plan identifying authorized or requested services.

Save this proof

Assessment appointment, resulting report, planning invitation, plan, approvals, and open-item list.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the support coordinator to identify the missing assessment or plan item, its owner, and the next scheduled date.
