What is essential for the IISP to include when detailing instruction and/or support?

Including the goals agreed upon in the Plan of Care (POC) is essential for the Individualized Instruction and Support Plan (IISP) because these goals serve as a foundation for the instructional strategies and support services provided. They ensure that the instruction is tailored to meet the unique needs, preferences, and aspirations of the individual. By aligning the IISP with the POC goals, practitioners can effectively track progress, adjust methods as necessary, and provide relevant support that empowers the individual to achieve their desired outcomes.

In contrast, focusing solely on minimum requirements does not foster a personalized or effective approach to instruction and support. Detailed financial documentation is not typically a primary focus in an IISP, as the emphasis should be on goals and individual needs rather than financial aspects. Additionally, disregarding individuals’ preferences can lead to a lack of engagement and motivation, thus potentially diminishing the effectiveness of the support provided. Recognizing and integrating these preferences is crucial for creating a supportive learning environment that resonates with the individual.
