Human services agencies throughout the country are shifting from a focus on agency practices and system rules to being more centered on the people with disabilities, what each individual wants for their life, and how people with disabilities can have fully inclusive community lives. One of the most powerful methods for achieving those goals is person-centered planning, which has a variety of formats. The RTC engages in a variety of research and training projects about Person-Centered Planning, conducted both within Minnesota and nationally. Projects range from training people to facilitate person-centered plans using a variety of methods, the impact of such planning on the quality of people's lives, and understanding how agencies and systems can fully utilize these processes.
