The National Alliance of Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (NASISP) focuses on the role of Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (SISP) in promoting student success through mental health, physical health, and educational support. SISP includes professionals such as counselors, psychologists, social workers, and therapists, who work with students, teachers, and administrators to address barriers to learning, promote positive school climates, and implement evidence-based interventions. The document emphasizes the integration of SISP within the framework of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), highlighting their involvement in multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and schoolwide programs to improve student outcomes. SISP professionals are crucial in addressing students' academic, behavioral, and mental health needs through direct services, professional development, and collaboration with community resources. The document also outlines the importance of Medicaid funding and other federal programs to support the comprehensive needs of students.
