How do you use Person Centered Planning?

Person-centered planning involves the development of a "toolbox" of methods and resources that enable people to choose their own pathways to success; the planners simply help them to figure out where they want to go and how best to get there. Our goal is to integrate person-centered planning into transition planning and services for individuals so that they might become active participants in the shaping and realization of their future throughout their life transitions. The person-centered approach relies much less on the service system by organizing truly individualized, natural, and creative supports to achieve meaningful goals based on the individual's strengths and preferences. This approach creates a team of people who know and care about the individual, who come together to develop and share a dream for the person's future, and who work together to organize and provide the supports necessary to make that dream a reality. Instead of forcing inappropriate services upon an individual, after the team has determined what has to be achieved, available support services can be tailored to achieve these goals.
