Abstract: In a person-centered support system for people with intellectual disabilities, there should be an alignment between the wishes and goals of a person, his or her support needs, the support given, and his or her quality of life as outcome. Thus far, quite some research has been done on measuring support needs and measuring personal outcomes. In this article the focus is on the actual support to people with intellectual disabilities. It is argued that there should be an emphasis on 1) the application of evidence-based supports, 2) based on evidence-based measurement of support needs, 3) in which the outcomes are evidence-based assessed quality of life-related personal outcomes, 4) within a value-based framework, and 5) in a process of methodological sound Individual Supports Planning. A value-based model for evidence-based supports and interventions in a support methodology is presented.
