Produktbeschreibung
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 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. With a strong emphasis on the interaction among agencies, this practical, straightforward book offers forms, checklists, exercises, and a troubleshooting guide as tools for implementing a person-centered approach and increasing its efficacy.
