Person-Centered Planning (PCP) definition
a family of approaches to developing supports and service plans for persons with developmental disabilities that:
- Focus on individuals as people (not their diagnostic labels).
- Use ordinary language and images (not professional jargon).
- Actively search for a person’s strengths and gifts, and
- Seek to give the person a strong voice in his or her plan.
Positive Behavior Support is based on?
Positive Behavior Support, which springs from Applied Behavior Analysis, is based on many of the same tenets as Person-Centered Planning, such as antecedent control, choice, quality of life, independence, active engagement, and self-determination.

The principle of normalization in Positive Behavior Support?
The principle of normalization was not meant to be a to-do list; it was meant to inspire both the professional community and the community at large to think differently about people with disabilities; to value them as contributing members of society.
- Wolfensberger insisted these ideas were not only different, but also often extended into “silly” proportions and caused people to be badly served in the name of letting them “do whatever they want.” He advocated for human services professionals to simultaneously build skills in our clients while removing the obstacles that are placed in their paths by people who fail to see anything but their weaknesses.
