Person Centred Planning

Support should reflect what is important to and for the person. This includes: 

• Honouring their goals and dreams 

• Involving them in decision-making 

• Encouraging exploration of new interests 

Ongoing Service Delivery 

• Provide consistent, respectful support 

• Be flexible and responsive to changes 

• Build routines and rituals that promote stability and comfort 

Self-Determination  

Promote the individual’s right to: 

• Make decisions, even when they make mistakes 

• Learn from experience 

• Direct their own life with support 

Supported Decision Making   

This model means: 

• You help the person understand choices using visuals, plain language, or role-play 

• They choose with support, not for them 

• Trusted friends, family, or advocates can help when needed 

Community & Social Inclusion  

• Support participation in local events, volunteering, and social groups 

• Address barriers (e.g., anxiety, transportation, accessibility) 

• Encourage connections beyond paid supports 

Daily Living & Independence 

Help the person build and maintain skills in: 

• Personal hygiene 

• Money management 

• Cooking and cleaning 

• Using public transportation 

• Encourage independence, even in small ways. 

Relationships & Social Networks  

• Connection with family and friends 

• Development of safe, respectful friendships 

• Education around dating, boundaries, and consent
