Product Description:

The Southern Arizona Person-Centered Planning (PCP) Model Program is a CMS Real Choice Systems Change grant project conducted in partnership between the Arizona Department of Economic Security/Division of Developmental Disabilities (DES/DDD) and the Sonoran UCEDD. This grant is specifically geared towards young adults with developmental disabilities, age 16 through 22, who are making their transition into adulthood. Preliminary survey results identified that the youth, their family, and support coordinators felt that pcp was beneficial in that it identified the youth?s skills and contributions and it allowed the integration of input from more than one person; the process was time consuming and required commitment from all involved, many were unable to sustain their level of involvement and it could be related to a variety of factors, one of which is staff turnover; importance of maintaining current friendships as well as creating new friendships and networking was prominent
