Person-centred planning

Person-centred planning means making a special plan for a person based on what they like, what they can do and what they want to do. It's like making a recipe that is just right for that person. The plan helps the person to do things that they want to do and to have a happy life.

For example, if someone really loves animals, the person-centred plan would try to find ways for them to spend time with animals, like visiting a petting zoo or volunteering at an animal shelter.

The person-centred plan is made by talking to the person and finding out what they like, what they need help with, and what they want to do. Then, people who care about the person, like family, friends, and caregivers, work together to make the plan happen.

The plan can be changed if the person's likes or needs change, and it helps everyone to work together and make sure the person's life is the best it can be.
