Person-Centered Arizona Intiative
Project Description:
Informed choice and being a respected part of the community are crucial quality of life issues for people with DD and their families. The Sonoran UCEDD is committed to increasing person-centered thinking and practices throughout the state of Arizona to enhance the quality of life of individuals with DD. We will continue to provide trainings for individuals with DD and their families, provider and agency staff, and the community at large in person-centered philosophy and tools; maintain a web-based forum and matching service for trained facilitators and individuals with DD and their families to connect who would like to complete a PCP; and facilitate statewide collaboration by convening a PCP and practices stakeholder group to determine next steps and opportunities for systemic change.
