Person Centered Thinking (PCT)

What is PCT?

It is a set of approaches to plan an individual’s life and the supports needed for that person to sustain independence. Person Centered Planning draws on the individual’s strengths and abilities to maximize achievement of outcomes. It focuses on the individual and their needs by putting them in charge of defining the direction for their life, not on the systems that may or may not be available to serve them. This ultimately leads to greater inclusion as valued members of both community and society.
