“…Prior to the planning meetings, the 4 teachers attended a half-day training session. The trainer for the session (second author) has extensive experience in person-centered planning (Everson, 1996;Everson & Reid, 1997). The training focused on describing the values of a person-centered philosophy (e.g., planning sessions are directed by the individual, when possible, and his or her friends, and the focus is on an individual's gifts and capacities rather than skill deficits) as well as assessment and planning tools for developing a preferences map.…”

“…Mapping is used for several purposes, including soliciting and transcribing opinions of people with disabilities and their support team members regarding the former's perceived likes and dislikes in areas such as leisure, relationships, jobs, and so on (Everson, 1996). Determining preferences is an integral step in all person-centered approaches (Everson & Reid, 1997;Miner & Bates, 1997), and it represents the foundation upon which a person-centered plan is built. It has been recognized, however, that determining preferences of individuals with very severe disabilities can be difficult due to communication challenges (O'Brien, 1987;Whitney-Thomas et al, 1998).…”

Person-centered planning is becoming a popular means of designing supports for people with disabilities. However, very little research evaluating person-centered planning exists. We evaluated the degree to which items and activities reported to be preferred in person-centered plans represented accurate preferences based on how individuals responded when presented with the items and activities. Person-centered planning meetings were conducted with 4 individuals with profound multiple disabilities to develop preference maps and to identify leisure-related preferences. A sample of the reported preferences in the plans was then systematically assessed by observing each participant's approach and avoidance responses to the items and activities. Of the sampled items and activities reported to be preferred in the plans, 42% represented moderate preferences based on the latter assessment process and 33% represented strong preferences. With 2 participants, several preferences identified in the plans were nonpreferred items and activities based on the preference assessments, and some were frequently avoided. These results suggested that although person-centered plans may identify some accurate preferences for people with profound multiple disabilities, this approach should be used cautiously. Results also suggested that such plans should be supplemented with systematic preference assessments to ensure the accuracy of identified preferences. Future research areas focus on evaluating other aspects of person-centered planning.

“…Similar studies of people with intellectual disabilities remain inconclusive leading to scepticism about the feasibility of such approaches with this population (Mansell & Beadle‐Brown 2004). The limited evidence that exists is either in the form of individualized case studies (Everson & Reid 1997) or in the form of process‐oriented studies that suggest positive change in service‐provider attitudes but fail to establish significant improvement in client outcomes (Parley 2001). Thus, there is a need for systematic studies investigating the effectiveness of consumer‐directed services for people with intellectual disabilities.…”

Background A consumer-directed service-delivery approach to assistive technology and environmental modification intervention was examined with people who were ageing with intellectual disabilities. Material and Methods The intervention was based on a collaborative approach involving consumers, their social supports and service deliverers. Thirty individuals were randomly selected to receive the intervention from a sample of 75 community-dwelling adults. Outcomes related to consumers' and significant others' perceptions of performance and satisfaction with goal attainment were assessed and the consumer-directed goal planning process examined. Results Participants in the intervention group reported significantly higher levels of performance and satisfaction related to goals identified at baseline than participants in the control group. Two broad categories of goals were addressed during the intervention -basic self-care goals and participation ⁄ environmental ⁄ systems level goals. A 98% direct agreement rate between consumer-identified goals and goals addressed by service deliverers was found during the intervention. Of the environmental strategies employed during the intervention, assistive devices and systems level advocacy and action were the two most frequently used across goals. Conclusion Results provide evidence in favour of a consumer-directed approach to assistive technology and environmental modification service delivery for consumers who are ageing with intellectual disabilities.

Background This critical review considers the nature and importance of person-centred planning in the context of current British policy and service development in intellectual disability. The difference between person-centred planning and other kinds of individual planning is discussed. Materials and method The scale of the task of implementing person-centred planning as a national policy initiative is considered. The limited evidence base for person-centred planning is reviewed and the reasons for the failure of previous attempts at individual planning are analysed.The assumption that person-centred services will be produced by a new kind of individual planning is questioned. Conclusions Consideration is given to what would be necessary to make services more person-centred, including changes in power relations, funding arrangements and staff training and supervision.
