The Power of Person-Centered Planning
Westgate, Rosanne J.; Blessing, Carol
TEACHING Exceptional Children Plus, v2 n2 Article 2 Nov 2005
The purpose of this article is to awaken the reader to the possibilities which exist when working on Person-Centered Planning and the individual with intellectual disabilities, specifically, Down syndrome. Although Person-Centered Planning has been in existence for more than two decades, it is viewed in a new way through the experiences documented in this article by individuals, and the use of a new format which includes photography, the computer, and a guide for what questions to ask and how to ask them. The central question of what caregivers can do once the Person-Centered Plan is enacted is posed as well. The Person-Centered Plan is seen as not disability-specific, but a capacity-building process in which the personnel involved are key to linking the individual to the community in order for dreams and personal goals to be realized.
