Person Centred Plan.

My autism support workers want to do a Person Centred Plan with me. Does anyone know about such things and what they involve?

I don't know about plans specifically, but I do know that a person centred approach is all about considering the needs of the individual rather than applying the same sort of treatment to everyone. I expect they'll want to go through your current thoughts and feelings about your needs and maybe put together a plan to work on things based on that, always taking your personal views and needs into account. So it's more non-directive and up to your views, giving you more control and input. If that makes sense!

This might help: it's about therapy rather than plans, but it does describe the theory behind the approach quite well: http://www.simplypsychology.org/clie...d-therapy.html

Malison is right. In a nutshell, a person centred care plan is basically created in collaboration with you as the service user, taking into account your wishes, goals and thoughts about your care and what you think you need.

I'm quite surprised that they didn't explain it to you...
