A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Over the past decade there has been strong movement toward networking to support people in their natural communities. Person-Centered planning reflects a determination to put the person's desires, dreams, hopes, and needs at the very center of every plan made for them. Person-Centered plans are challenging to make and to carry out. At the root of the process is a simple but elusive goal: people (both with and without disabilities) want to have a home of their own, to go to school, and to have a good job. People want the right (and the knowledge they need) to be the person in charge of the decisions that impact their personal lives. But they wonder: How does one go about this? What has worked for others? What is possible for me? This academic guidebook explains the emergence of person-centered planning and the values underlying the process. Through the stories of real people's struggles to reach their personal dreams in education and work arenas, the reader will learn how to partner with others to design and carry out person-centered plans for themselves and their friends. Dream big! Work hard! (?and then do it again!)
