Person Centered Thinking refers to the foundational skills and tools that underlie all person centered assessment, planning and delivery of supports to people who have lost or are in danger of losing positive control in their lives. Often this is due to society's reaction to the presence of a disability. These skills and tools are not associated with any one person centered planning style, but have come from many sources in many countries over the past 20 years. They teach structured ways of listening and finding balance between what makes a person happy and what helps them stay healthy and safe. They provides effective facilitation methods for gathering, organizing, powerfully presenting, and continually acting on on-going learning.
