Person Centered Planning is a set of practices, which have been developed and successfully utilized for more than thirty years, to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities. During this 4-part series, participants will have the opportunity to increase their understanding of the Person Centered Planning process, explore the benefits of using strengths-based strategies and facilitated collaboration in future planning with students, and incorporate the information gathered through Person Centered Planning into students’ IEPs. The Person Centered Planning process will provide participants with the opportunity to build a new narrative of success for students as they build skills toward independent living and employment.
