Person-Centered Planning (PCP) feels like it's become a buzzword to me. It seems like every state has a requirement for individuals with Developmental Disabilities to put a PCP in place when receiving services. However, I've found it difficult to pin down what, specifically, a PCP is. The closest I've come is Administration for Community Living (https://acl.gov/programs/consumer-control/person-centered-planning).
So I reached out to Kenzie Clark, Founder of Able Transition Consulting, to see if she would be willing to talk me through what she considers to be a person-centered plan. I was not surprised when she shared she does much more than what States will typically do. In this interview, Kenzie talks us through what it means to build a plan for an individual with a disability.
As a former Special Education Teacher, Kenzie saw the need for transition services and sought out a master’s degree in Secondary Special Education and Transition through the University of Kansas. The transition process and preparing all families and individuals for high-quality lives is her passion. Kenzie's master’s degree provides her with expertise and knowledge regarding all things transition.
While Kenzie attended undergraduate at Appalachian State University, she studied special education and worked with the inclusive post-secondary education program, Scholars with Diverse Abilities (SDAP). This program sparked her interest in transition and the importance of preparing individuals and their families for adulthood.
After teaching in the public school system, Kenzie felt called to open the doors of Able Transition Consulting, LLC to collaborate with and serve families. Able Transition Consulting is happy to be supporting families to ensure successful post-school outcomes and peace of mind. Through building unique and comprehensive person-centered planning, she knows that clients will be able to access high-quality and happy adult lives!
