Person-centered planning is an ongoing individual planning process that is designed to capture your dreams and desires and translate them into a plan of action. Person-centered planning is a way to listen and take direction from you and the people who know you best. It focuses on your preferences, strengths, and talents rather than your limitations. Person-centered planning organizes and uses natural supports like family, friends, acquaintances, and formal community supports and services to help you achieve the things important to you.
