Person Centered Planning

Design Your Life, Your Way with Person-Centered Planning

At the heart of self-determination is person-centered planning—a process that puts your dreams, hopes, and goals first. You decide what’s important to you, and we help you plan for the future. Whether you can achieve some dreams on your own or need support for others, this approach allows you to think big and imagine the life you want, just like anyone else. Together, we’ll create a customized plan for the next 12 months, laying out clear goals and steps to make those dreams a reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Person-Centered Planning is a process that puts your dreams, goals, and what matters most to you at the center of every decision. Instead of fitting your life into a pre-made system, we help build a plan around the life you want to live. Together with your circle of care, we identify your strengths, needs, supports, and future goals—then create a clear roadmap for the next 12 months to help turn those goals into reality. It’s about choice, independence, and making sure your services truly reflect you.

You, your circle of care, and any trusted family members or professionals you wish to include in the process. 

Yes! We understand that your needs may change, and we’ll work with you to adjust your plan as necessary.

Traditional care planning often focuses on services, limitations, and fitting someone into existing programs. Person-Centered Planning starts with the individual—their goals, strengths, interests, and vision for the future. Instead of asking “What services do you qualify for?”, it asks “What kind of life do you want to build?” From there, supports and resources are designed around that vision. It creates a more personal, flexible, and empowering path forward, with the individual leading the process rather than the system leading it.

Your circle of care supports you in the decision-making process and helps ensure that the plan truly reflects your preferences.
