Person-Centered Planning brings together the individual being supported and the people who play an essential role in his or her life, including family and friends, to outline a plan based on that individual’s unique gifts and abilities.
It invites everyone involved to look beyond perceived limits and think in a more creative and challenging way to uncover their true potential.
Person Centered Planning is an ongoing problem-solving process used to help people with disabilities plan for their future.
We take the time to explore their gifts, interests, and strengths and discover new and compelling ways of helping that person share these gifts with the greater community.
The YourWay team is proud to support, guide, and educate your family through the PDD process. We want to provide a welcoming platform for clients and their families to connect with us, and ensure that their voices are heard through the creation of their individual care plan.

How Person-Centered Planning Differs From Conventional Planning
Person-Centered Planning is different from conventional planning in a number of ways. The traditional way of planning focuses on the needs of the individual, and how to address those needs. Person-Centered Planning is different because it focuses on the person’s gifts and capacities.
It is our ethos to accept individuals where they are, rather than identify them by their diagnosis or disability. Like each of us, they have unique gifts which are meant to be shared with their communities. Our goal is to support and foster these gifts so that it will lead to a lifetime of success.
Family Managed Supports are services funded by the PDD Program that include: Community Access Supports, Employment/Recreation & Respite and Residential Supports.
What is FMS and how does it work?
In a Family Managed Service Agreement, an individual with a developmental disability, their family, or a close friend, can directly hire staff and/or hire a service provider that has been approved by the PDD program.
What are the benefits of choosing FMS?
More Flexibility: FMS allows an individual with a developmental disability, their family, or a close friend, to choose what will work best. More Control: Through FMS, the individual with a developmental disability and their family have more say in the supports that are provided.
