How often should an individualized service plan be updated?

An individualized service plan (ISP) should be updated every 6 months, as this frequency ensures that the plan remains relevant and in line with the evolving needs and goals of the individual receiving services. Regular updates allow for the inclusion of any changes in the individual's circumstances, progress, or preferences, and help to ensure that the services provided are effectively meeting their needs. This biannual review process encourages ongoing communication between the individual and their support team, promoting active involvement and empowerment in the individual's care and support strategies. By continually assessing and refining the ISP, providers can better support the individual's journey towards their personal goals.
