Building a Person-Centered Plan Around a Meaningful Long-Term Goal Statement

Webinar Image

A person-centered plan should be organized around a quality long-term goal statement that reflects a person’s most deeply held values and preferences around building a good life. Yet planning documentation often targets the narrow management of disability related symptoms or functional impairments without broader attention to the person’s quality of life as a whole.

Review this training session to:

  • learn strategies for overcoming common barriers to person-centered “goal setting.”
  • be exposed to a wide variety of engagement and goal discovery tools.
  • receive concrete coaching and examples around how to translate authentic person-centered conversations into quality long-term goals and rigorously documented short-term goals.
  • practice creating goal statements that support a person’s connection to the valued community activities and relationships that matter most to them.
