Navigating Choice and Change in Later Life: Frameworks for Facilitating Person-Centered Planning
Individuals who are aging or living with chronic illness or disability, along with their families, face multiple challenges in defining and creating a network of supports in order to live as they choose. There is no easy path to figuring out how to support our loved ones or how to navigate a maze of medical and community supports. This manual provides a set of tools to help professionals and families navigate the complex issues that arise as we age and our need for supports to live as we choose increases.
Included in the manual is a 11" by 17" fold out Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model® that is adapted to person-centered planning.

Little Ones Have Big Dreams, Too
Person-centered planning is a planning process that starts with a committed group of people gathering to engage in an ongoing and creative process of planning for someone who needs extra support in the coming months or years. Person-centered planning is attractive to people who are seeking an innovative, informal, person-centered, community engagement approach to change as opposed to a more system-directed, formalized and regulated approach to planning for change. The process usually involves meeting in a comfortable environment of the family's choosing, using flip charts and colorful markers to explore ideas, illustrate events, and engage in a process of change that is very visually oriented, creative, and uplifting. Each meeting is unique and each outcome is individualized and tailored to the child, family, and group of people engaged in the process. Person-centered planning helps a group work smartly and efficiently. Over several meetings, the group will define its specific purpose for planning, illustrate the full history of the child's life (e.g., home, education, health, family), and bring in others with the "right" skills to help plan, establish a vision, and delineate realistic outcomes and action steps.
The targeted age group for the maps in this publication is children and youth through their early teens. Facilitators, parents, developmental services agencies, school systems, positive behavioral support teams, mental health teams, Head Start agencies, wrap-around teams and early intervention teams might find this publication helpful.
