Person-centred planning – Easy Read

Person-centred planning is a way of:

• thinking
• planning.

It started across Canada and the US in the 1970s.

In the 1980s, governments:

• became interested in person-centred planning
• asked how more people could use it.

There is a lot more interest in person-centred planning now.

These days person-centred planning guides:

• what the government and service providers do
• how they do it.

Person-centred planning focuses on finding out:

• who the person is

• who is important to them

• how they want to live their life

• what they can do in their community

• what the person’s community can do for them

• what help people need to live their life.
