Abstract
Person-centered approaches, such as personal futures planning, are currently being proposed as alternatives to traditional systems-centered approaches for school-to-adult life transition services. Because of the time and other resource commitments required, many service providers and families do not readily embrace these approaches. As a result, many individuals with disabilities who could benefit from more person-centered planning approaches continue to receive traditional, systems-centered services. The purpose of this article is to discuss the application of selected person-centered planning concepts not as an alternative to traditional planning approaches, but as a mechanism for enhancing traditional IEP and transition planning approaches.
