Learn more about Person-Centered Thinking, an approach that gives people with disabilities the leading role in their own life. It recognizes every person’s right to make choices that create a life meaningful to them, rather than playing a supporting role in someone else’s script. Person-Centered Thinking is the foundation for Person-Centered Planning, which allows people with disabilities to live the lives they want, supported by those around them.
