Partners’ Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) Department works with members and their support system to make sure that people receiving services are cared for in the best possible manner.
The IDD Department focuses on:
- Evaluation of individuals needing/requesting services.
- Care management.
- Training for providers and the community.
Supports Intensity Scale
The Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) is a required assessment tool that measures daily support needs of someone who is receiving, or waiting to receive, intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) services in North Carolina. A Partners team member conducts the assessment.
Learn more about the Supports Intensity Scale.
North Carolina Supports or Needs Assessment Profile (NC-SNAP)
The NC-SNAP is a needs assessment tool that can measure a person’s level of need for developmental supports and/or services. Learn more about NC-SNAP.
To locate an NC-SNAP training, please visit the Partners Training Resource and Collaborative Calendar.
I/DD Care Management
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Care Management is a managed care function that, together with an individual and his or her support system, makes sure that the individual is cared for in the best possible manner. Care managers employed by Partners work with the member and his or her natural supports to help monitor services and make sure that assessments and Person-Centered Plans are completed. Private provider agencies deliver needed services. Refer an individual to I/DD Care Management.
