Meet SIS Venture

No more transferring data from paper to online. With the introduction of this stand-alone software, professionals on the move can fill in SIS interview data offline and upload the assessment to the SISOnline system once Internet connection is available. Catherine Villaire, SISOnline Operations Manager gives us a round up of SIS Venture software here.

New study confirms reliability of the French version of SIS

A new study published in the American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities confirms that the French version of the Supports Intensity Scale does indeed have good reliability overall. Approximately 40 persons with intellectual disabilities from Quebec, a Canadian province, participated in this study. For each participant, 2 respondents and 2 interviewers were identified and 3 French SIS questionnaires were filled out. Results are presented and discussed compared with those obtained with the original, English-based SIS.
