ISP Programs  can be used to  track  the progress of an individual as they are working on their goals or objectives. An ISP (Individual Support Plan) Program includes the written details of the supports, activities, and resources used to help an individual toward accomplishing their goals. 

Users assigned with the ISP Program Submit role can create new ISP Programs.

1. Starting on the Individual Tab, Click on New beside ISP Program.

2. Select the Program that the individual is in from the list.

3. Select the Individual’s name from the list.

4. In the ISP Program form, enter required details for each section:

In the ISP Program form on the top right side there is a Jump to button. Clicking on the Jump to button will show the list of sections of the ISP Program. Users can click on an item from the list to go to that section.

A help button indicated by a question mark (?) is available. Clicking on this button will show a list containing brief descriptions of the fields in that section of the ISP Program.

ISP Program Description

ISP Program Name: Enter the name of the objective, goal program, or task of this ISP program.  Note: You cannot use the exact same ISP program name for the same individual more than once, so you may want to include a date, term name, or  grade level. 

Start Date: Data can be collected starting on the selected program creation date.  You can use today’s date, or you can use a future date, such as the first of the following month, or the start of the next term, and the program will not be in effect to allow data collection until the selected date. 

End Date: ISP Data cannot be submitted for a date later than the End Date. Adding an End Date will not automatically discontinue the ISP Program.

Schedule and Frequency

Frequency: Frequency indicates how often ISP data should be collected on this ISP program.  You can select a number from 1 to 50 here and then you also need to select the appropriate option in the schedule field below. 

When you click on the question mark in this section – it has “Frequency – Interval (1-50) in which data is expected.” and “Schedule – Unit (daily/weekly/monthly) in which data is expected.

Schedule: Schedule means when data is to be collected or the number of times it is expected. This is the number of times the ISP programs will be applied to an Individual. In this field a dropdown list is added containing three (3) options: Daily, Weekly, Monthly. This field will be required if a Frequency is selected. 

If options  are selected in the Frequency and Schedule fields, then they cannot be edited after approving the ISP Program.

Maximum Number of Times a Day: Enter how many times you want to allow documentation to be entered, at the most, per day, on this ISP program.

Fields marked with red asterisks are mandatory.

Users assigned with the Scoring Method administrative role will be able to define new scoring methods by clicking on the Define New Scoring Method button at the bottom of the page.

Note: There are 2 ways to create a scoring method – from here – for just this ISP program, or from the Admin tab, if you want to have the scoring method appear on the list of scoring method options.

Enter the Caption Name  and Label Acronym for each label. The Label Acronym will appear in different ISP data reports.
