What does the discovery process primarily involve?

The discovery process is fundamentally about spending time with individuals to get a deep understanding of their preferences, strengths, interests, and life experiences. This person-centered approach enables facilitators to gather meaningful insights about the individual, which can then inform tailored support and planning to enhance their quality of life. The goal is to foster a deeper connection and ensure that the support provided aligns with what truly matters to the individual, rather than adhering to standardized judgments or generic options that may not resonate with their unique situation.

This focus on personal interaction and assessment is vital because it helps in recognizing the individual’s aspirations and thus guides the development of a plan that reflects their personal goals and desires, ensuring that the approach is genuinely centered around them.
