DSPD trainer: Person-centered support plans are 'planning to help people live their best life'
Summary
Lisa Wade of DSPD summarized the Person-Centered Support Plan (PCSP), its annual requirement for DSPD service recipients, and the plan's stages: preplanning, action plan (goals/supports) and a federally required backup plan.
Lisa Wade, a member of the Employment Planning and Inclusion team at the Utah Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD), opened the webinar by defining person‑centered planning and why it matters for people receiving DSPD services. "Person centered planning is planning to help people live their best life," Wade said, adding that plans should let the person drive what they want for their life and balance "what is important to the person" with "what is important for the person."
Wade outlined the annual PCSP process required for people who receive DSPD services: a preplanning stage to decide attendees and meeting logistics; an action plan that records goals across life domains such as employment, community living and health; and a backup plan that documents risks and response steps. She emphasized that goals should be written from the person's perspective and focus on outcomes rather than the supports themselves, and that supports can include both paid staff and natural supports such as family members.
