Disabled children

Practitioners should offer young disabled people high-quality multiagency support, which allows them to have choice and control over life decisions. They should take a person-centred planning approach, as described in various guidance documents.5-7

In tandem with the MPT the IEP is a collaborative process, which focuses on the abilities of each individual student, their desired goals, and tailored to that student's individual needs and abilities. It is based on a client focused social and participatory service delivery model in AT (Craddock and McCormack, 2002), that emphasizes the active participation of the service user in the selection of appropriate equipment and in the ongoing evaluation and decision-making processes. Part of this European funded program was the development and training of a novel profession called Technology Liaison Officers (TLO). These were adults with disabilities who received training and third level qualifications in AT. They were based in the community and their role was to support both families and teachers in accessing, understanding, and using AT. The overall focus of the program was a bottom-up approach enabling the local personnel to define the issues involved in a service delivery system (Scherer and Craddock, 2002). Person-centered planning begins by establishing individual's prioritized needs in collaboration with a team consisting of the individual's support network, family, close friends, teachers, and AT specialists.

An alternative to assessing needs through testing and labeling is conducting “person-centered planning.” This process focuses on abilities rather than deficits. It is planning the best quality future for a person based on strengths, preferences, and dreams for a life-style. During this process, a team works with the person to decide on a schedule of events and supports that will organize available resources to move toward the future.

Third, we recommend that practitioners engage in person-centred planning with the PWD, the family, and care team. Some research suggests that person-centred planning may be associated with improvements in outcomes for PWD (Claes et al.2010, Ratti et al.2016). Person-centred planning is an individualised, active, and collaborative approach used to identify valued outcomes associated with the provision of behaviour support, and to identify how specific strategies might be used to achieve these outcomes (Mansell and Beadle-Brown 2004). Person-centred planning might be used during or after the functional behaviour assessment to co-design the behaviour support plan with care team members. Person-centred planning meetings might provide a safe and transparent forum for practitioners and team to identify the use of RPs and the reasons why RPs are used. During person-centred planning, practitioners and care team members might write down specific perceived barriers to reducing the use of RPs and then generate a list of potential solutions to each barrier. By engaging in this collaborative problem-solving process, care team members may be better positioned to offer solutions and play an active role in generating new strategies for reducing the use of RPs.

In relation to the possible context of application of the guide, the adaptations in the English version have taken research into account that refers to the current situation in both the USA and the UK (Robertson et al. 2007). These changes underline the potential of person-centered planning and its relation with improvements to the quality of life of people with intellectual disability, because of their effects on such indicators as independence, choice, daily life activities, relationships, and satisfaction, among others.

The study highlighted the interchangeability of strategies used in person-centred planning and those for decision support, as well as the multiple decisions often embedded in goals and plans. It provides a timely reminder that many visual and exploratory strategies embedded in the practice and explanatory texts on person-centred planning may be of value to decision supporters outside the context of planning [32].
