Living On His Own

“I like it. It’s bigger than my old place,” Robert said about his new apartment, which helps make it possible for him to live and work on his own, despite his intellectual disabilities.

Person-Centered Planning

Fraser Person-Centered Planning is based on Michael Smull’s (1996) Essential Lifestyle Planning concepts. Person-Centered Planning is a process guided by a trained Fraser professional to create a plan that captures what is important to a person receiving services, and maintain or improve his/her quality of life.

The process identifies who and what a person needs or desires to be safe, healthy and happy on a daily basis. Fraser will focus on a person’s current strengths and situation as well as his/her dreams for the future. Planning meetings are driven by the preferences of each person, his/her family and anyone else chosen to include in the process (friends, case managers, direct support professionals, significant others, co-workers, etc.).

This program generally serves adolescents and adults, but has no age limitation.

Person-Centered Planning includes:

Facilitation of the Person-Centered Planning meeting
Pre-planning individual and group interviews related to plan development
Development of the written Person-Centered Plan (PCP)
Identification of community resources
Referrals to appropriate county or state funded programs
On-going monitoring/evaluation of plan implementation (if requested)
Periodic review and updates to the PCP (if requested)
