This course was developed by The Learning Community for Person Centered Practices. It builds upon the concept of Important To and Important For. The course provides practical skills and tools used to help personalize services. These skills and tools can also be used with people we support, families, teams, and colleagues. The skills help capture who the person is and what they need, how to manage the roles that people play in others’ lives, and skills to help us learn from new or challenging experiences. At the end of the course, attendees will be able to develop person centered descriptions and use new skills to facilitate team meetings or group discussions about support.
