Person-Centered Planning

PBS provides person-centered planning to individuals as well as agencies working with individuals with disabilities. Person-centered planning is a fun interactive eight-step process that focuses on the individual’s dream and what they want for their future. It helps participants develop goals and create an action plan for achieving their goals and increase their quality of life.

PBS staff use tools such as Making Action Plans (MAPs) and Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope (PATHs) to graphically facilitate person-centered planning with the participant and their team. Person-centered planning generally occurs in the person’s home or location of the focus person’s choosing with a support team of their choosing. The MAPs process takes about 1.5 - 2 hours to complete and the PATHs generally takes 2-3 hours to complete. These can be modified for individual needs.

Eligibility Requirements:
