Person-centered planning (PCP) is a deeply empathetic approach that empowers individuals with disabilities to chart their own course for the future. It’s a process that honors the individual’s unique strengths, desires, and aspirations. At the heart of PCP is the recognition of what truly matters to the person—crafting a life that reflects their personal vision and arranging the essential services and supports them to thrive within their community. It’s about listening, understanding, and building a plan that resonates with the individual’s own voice and dreams.

In our upcoming PCP meeting, I’ll engage with you to understand your family’s unique situation, as well as your child’s aspirations and needs. Together, we’ll then develop a tailored plan that addresses both present and future requirements and consider services that the Regional Center may not yet have authorized.

Following our PCP meeting, I will meticulously compile a comprehensive Person-Centered Plan Report. This document will encapsulate our discussions and the agreed-upon strategies for your child’s support. Once the report is finalized, we’ll sit down together to go through it with care, making sure it aligns perfectly with the hopes and aspirations for the coming year. It’s a collaborative effort to pave the way for a year filled with progress and fulfillment.

It is then that we meet with your Regional Center case manager to review the report and align it to your IPP.
