DEVELOPING THEPERSONAL PROFILE

Reasons for Profiling:

1.Get to know the person--hear his/her view on life

2.Develop a shared appreciation of the person's gifts, capacities and struggles

3.Value and include the perspectives of family members, direct service workers, friends and others typically excluded

28

DEVELOPING THE PERSONAL PROFILE

4. Establish a record of how things are now for future planning, goal setting and objectives

5. Discuss values, options, and feelings in an informal setting

6. Prioritize actions and share responsibilities

7. Determine who should be at subsequent meeting(s)

29

Components of Personal Futures Planning

3. Finding New Directions: The Planning Meetings– Priorities– Opportunities & Obstacles– Strategies– Action Plans (who, what, by when)

4. Continuous Action: Solving Problems Over Time– Revisit past Commitments – What Happened?– Accomplishments celebrated– New Strategies for old and new barriers– New Commitments

Essential Lifestyle Planning

• Uses plain, simple language--inviting to read

• Detailed to be useful; brief to be read

• Separates what is important to the person from what is important to others

• Addresses issues that are sensitive in a way that respects privacy

• Balances choice and risk

34

Components of ELP

1. Who contributed to the plan-everyone & their relationship to focus person

2. Positive reputation-typical descriptors—NOT “has all ADLs”

-positive attributes or valued skills

3. What is important to the person-people, activities, pace, routines

35

Components of ELP

4. What do we need to know or do to support this person -“if this is going to happen we must. . .”

-how will things that make sense be maintain

5. Action Planning -start with an issue, describe the now,

brainstorm ways to change (or keep) the situation, chose what to do, who will do it, by when it will be done

What is important to the person Non-Negotiables

• Lifestyle choices which are essential to a reasonable quality of life for the person

• Positive non-negotiables are essential for a person’s life to be tolerable

• Non-negotiables represent the core values and characteristics of a person.

Source: M. Smull

42

What is important to the person Non-Negotiables

Examples of non-negotiables:

-having lots of friends-living where I grew up-living with people who do not mind clutter-living with people who “love me the best”-not living in the city-control over my own space, my own possessions

*Providers who do not meet these are NOT considered.

Driving the Action

44

Consequences of Action Planning

• Dream or desire is realized

• Hard decisions need to be made– Compromise– Trade-off– Give up

45

About Choices & Action Planning

• Where services that honor choices do not exist, the setting must be found and then supports built around the individual.

• If the time to realization is months, investigate interim efforts to improve life while the individual waits.

M. Smull

46

About Choices & Action Planning

• Guard against interim becoming permanent.

• We must ensure that non-negotiables will be met.

TECHNIQUES FOR RECORDING THE MEETINGS

51

Techniques for Recording

Recording the information on Charts:• Need:

– Water soluble colored markers– Masking tape– Large pads of paper or newsprint

• Figure out best way to make smaller versions after meeting– photograph?– “minutes”?– small reproduction?

52

Recorder Tips (cont.)• Post paper so that everyone can see it• Record legibly and large • Record main points and ideas using same or

similar words as the speaker• Record enough content to know what it means

later• Put consumer name and date• Use correct Chart titles

53

Recorder Tips (cont.)• Include at least a noun and verb in each

point; use active voice and future tense for vision statements (Sue will live in her home town)

• Focus on the speaker’s main points

• Use color to emphasize (i.e., 1 color only used for the person’s statements; highlighter for often-mentioned thoughts)

54

Recorder Tips• Check it out if you don’t understand an

idea/can’t picture it. Ask if it captures the right idea.

• Use graphics when possible

• Summarize after each step

55

Recorder Tips

Ideas for colors:

RED--stop, negative

GREEN--go, positive But be flexible &

BLUE--general info/data colorful

PURPLE--visions, dreams

Coming together is a beginning.Keeping together is progress.Working together is success.

Henry Ford

57

Focus is always on the Focus is always on the POSITIVE and POSITIVE and

POSSIBLEPOSSIBLE

58

Nurturing a Group Over Time• Realize that formal services &

programs are not enough

• Realize that no single person or service can or should do everything

• Encourage brainstorming and creativity

59

Success requires…

• Understanding that participants will not be able to build a life that has no frustrations or glitches

• Addressing issues & barriers as they surface

60

True person centered planning will bring about increased presence, choice, respect,

participation and competence.
