Person Centered Thinking Day 1

Event Description:

Person Centered Thinking Training is a curriculum created by the Learning Community. The Learning Community for Person Centered Practices envisions a world where all people have positive control over the lives they have chosen for themselves. Our efforts focus on people who have lost or may lose positive control because of society's response to the presence of a disability. We foster a global learning community that shares knowledge for that purpose.

The Person Centered Thinking Training underlies and guides respectful listening which leads to actions, resulting in people who:

• Have positive control over the life they desire and find satisfying;
• Are recognized and valued for their contributions (current and potential) to their communities;
• Are supported in a web of relationships, both natural and paid, within their communities

By attending this training, the participant will learn how to use/apply various skills to gain useful information about the people they work with and achieve a more person centered approach to their profession.
