Colorado Person-Centered Planning Initiative
PEAK Parent Center, the Colorado Department of Education, and the Colorado Developmental Disabilities Council provide person-centered planning opportunities to people with disabilities between the ages 3-30 years old.
What is Person-Centered Planning?
This process supports the development of personal support circles to assist you in planning for the future. An assigned facilitator and a recorder guide you, your family, and other invited participants of your choice through a creative planning process of identifying dreams, setting goals and planning the steps needed to achieve those goals. After the session, you will have a concrete action plan for working together with your personal circle to reach your desired future.
Person – Centered Planning…..
- Focuses on a young person’s strengths and interests.
- Gathers a group of the young person’s family, friends, neighbors, teachers, service providers, and others.
