Institute on Person-Centered Practices Hosts Training

The

Institute on Person Centered Practices is hosting a four-day training event,

August 8-11, at the College

Station Conference Center. The Institute is a collaborative

effort between the Center on Disability and Development at Texas A & M

University and the Center on

Disability Studies at the University

of Texas. The training is

intended for family members, self-advocates, service providers, service

coordinators and professionals in the disability field. The two sessions are

Session 1: Person Centered Thinking Training amd Session 2: Plan Facilitation.

The first session offers skills that help people get better lives, not just

better plans. In this activity based two-day course, participants learn how use

key tools to gather information that support people with disabilities to live

valued lives in their community. The second session takes the skills

participants developed in Person Centered Thinking Training and applies the

tools to a practical planning process. Information recording through these

tools leads to the development of a Person Centered Description which creates a

foundation to develop Person Directed Plans. To register for the training,
