Treatment Intervention and Progress Scale for Sexual Abusers with Intellectual Disabilities
(TIPS-ID)
The Treatment Intervention and Progress Scale for Sexual Abusers with Intellectual Disabilities (TIPS-ID) is a 25 item provider scored experimental scale designed to aid clinicians, case managers, support workers, home providers, and program administrators in identifying, monitoring, and managing the treatment, supervision, and placement needs of males ages 18 and older who are intellectually disabled and have committed sexually abusive acts.
The 25 risk factor items are empirically or theoretically linked to committing sexually abusive acts among identified sexual abusers. It is scored at intake and thereafter as frequently as every six months. Item scores are designed to reflect an individual's relative treatment need on each factor. The total score is intended to provide an estimation of an individual's overall level of need for supervision and treatment. Higher total scores are theoretically associated with higher levels of risk for committing sexual abuse and, therefore, represent a higher need for treatment and supervision.
The TIPS-ID is copyrighted but service providers may use the instrument in its current form and with the correct title with clients in their program. It may not be modified or used for commercial purposes without express written permission.
