A terrific overview of person-centered planning! This is a unique set of tools to train staff, families and people with disabilities. Use the video to follow the life planning of four individuals with significant disabilities who talk about their goals and life dreams. See their plans come together and discover how they reach their vision for a better life. Use the manuals to train on the “how-toʼs.” Provide the pocket guides to consumers and their families to take home.
