The Social Integration Services (SIS) program is the end result of a lengthy collective effort made in the school boards of Quebec, with a view to responding to the training needs of adults who have persistent and significant learning and adjustment difficulties of a psychological, intellectual, social or physical nature.
Section 9 of the Basic adult general education regulation defines the purpose of SIS as follows:
Social integration services are designed to provide adults experiencing adjustment difficulties of a psychological, intellectual, social or physical nature with access to individualized learning that will enable them to acquire basic social skills and will prepare them for further studies, if they wish to do so.
