Roles and Responsibilities: Collaboration through Person-Centered Processes. Under the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act, the five core student services needed for students with disabilities ages 16 to 22. Job Exploration Counseling - career exploration opportunities based on student strengths and interests. Work - based learning experiences, which may consist of both during school or after school opportunities, experiences outside of the traditional school setting and internships. Counseling on opportunities for enrollment in comprehensive transition or postsecondary educational programs. Workplace readiness training to develop social (soft skills) and independent living skills. Empower Self Advocacy in students in effort to build confidence to living independently and be successful in the workforce. Person-centered planning (PCP) is a process-oriented approach to empowering individuals with disabilities. PCP has a primary focus on people and their needs by putting them in charge of defining the direction for their lives, not on the systems which may or may not be available to provide services. This ultimately leads to greater inclusion as valued members of both community and society.

Roles and Responsibilities: Collaboration through Person-Centered Processes. The core partners agree that all plans will be reached through a Person-Centered approach. Person-Centered planning is an approach to support an individual towards their preferred future. The preferred future is what the individual wants to do based on their needs, strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, preferences, lifestyle, cultural background, and informed choice. The person- centered planning process is an on-going process and not one single meeting. A team of people who know the person best; family, friends and other identified resources of support can assist the consumer with the planning process and making informed decisions for their preferred future. This can occur during a DOR plan development meeting, when making decisions about the Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE), at the Regional Center during an Individualized Program Plan (IPP) meeting, and at the High School during an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) meeting.
Roles and Responsibilities: Collaboration through Person-Centered Processes. An objective of the FLPA shall be to streamline the referral process collectively established among LEAs, DOR, Regional Center, and other community partner agencies which provide services to individuals with ID/DD. The definition of Person Centered/Driven Planning (PCP/PDP) is an ongoing process used to help individuals with disabilities plan for their future. In person driven planning, groups of interested people focus on an individual and that person’s vision of what they would like to do in the future. The “person centered” team meets to discuss opportunities, developing relationships and being more involved with the community. All agencies working with people in regard to PCP/PDP will have open communication and collaborate in order to establish the most beneficial goals for the person.
