Person Centered Planning focuses on respecting the individual's:

Person Centered Planning is fundamentally about centering the individual's unique preferences and aspirations in the planning process. By focusing on personal interests, hopes, and dreams, it acknowledges the importance of seeing the person as a whole, rather than just their circumstances or external achievements. This approach ensures that the planning evolves from the individual’s values and life goals, promoting a sense of ownership and empowerment in their decisions.

In this context, fostering a planning process that reflects a person's personal aspirations can lead to more meaningful and fulfilling outcomes. It allows the individual to express what truly matters to them, which significantly impacts their engagement and satisfaction with the planning process and subsequent support services.
