Person Centered Thinking
Focused on Developmental Disabilities

While introducing the underlying values and principles expected of a person (and family) centered approach, as reviewed in the NC DMH/DD/SA communication bulletin #34 (attachment | memo), this training event explores the concept of a strengths based approach in considering what is important to and what is important for the person (and/or family).
