Person-Directed Planning

What is person-directed planning?

Person-directed planning helps a person with a developmental disability to find the tools and funding they need to live their dreams and meet their goals.

It can help people with developmental disabilities to

• define a vision of their future life,
• identify their strengths and gifts,
• set goals and make choices,
• find ways to participate in their communities,
• locate people who can  help them achieve their dreams.

A community agency can provide this kind of support, or families and people with developmental disabilities may want to use the funding they receive to pay for supports they choose themselves.
