Person-Centered Thinking; (virtual instructor-led)

This course is currently being taught in a virtual instructor-led classroom.  Participants in this course are introduced to important concepts of person-centered thinking and then are directed to focus on the differences between person-centered thinking and person-centered planning. The course also provides development and practice in using a set of skills aimed at determining, sorting and documenting information that is both important to and important-for the person. The course also introduces and provides practice in using information to match the person with compatible staff, in determining what duties a support staff may have toward addressing the person’s needs, as well as in developing a brief description of the person that highlights important desires, needs, preferences and characteristics.

If you are with a Managed Care Organization (MCO) looking to take the two-year refresher course, please go to the following link: Introduction to Person-Centered Planning (online) FY 2024.
