Person-centered Planning Made Easy: The Picture Method

PICTURE Planning for Inclusive Communities Together Using Reinforcement and Evaluation

The PICTURE approach to person-centered planning was designed to get people with disabilities out of sterile and impersonal agency settings and into "real life" settings so they have real access and experience with recreation, healthcare, employment, and travel. Through the use of this book, professionals can ensure that intervention and instruction for people with disabilities takes place in the community, rather than in segregated environments such as institutions. Instead of preparing people to live in the community through various professional practices, professionals work with the individuals in community settings. The book offers forms, checklists, exercises, and a troubleshooting guide as tools for implementing a person-centered approach and increasing its efficacy.
