Essential Lifestyle Planning has been a form of Person-Centered Planning in North Carolina.

Participants will have a practical 'hands on' experience of working with a focus person in the development of their plan. Additional exercises include making community connections, action planning, and writing person-centered goals that Medicaid will pay for and how to crosswalk content to the new state plan format and CAP-MR/DD plan format.
