Person Centered Planning

Recently we have introduced a new way of thinking and providing services in the various programs we offer at PDACL . This philosophy is called Person Centered Planning and will change and challenge some of the ways we have traditionally delivered our services.

Person Centred Planning is a way of helping people think about what they want now and in the future. It is about supporting people to plan their lives, work towards their goals and get the right support. It is a collection of tools and approaches based upon a set of shared values that can be used to plan with a person - not for them. Planning should build the person's circle of support and involve all the people who are important in that person's life.

Launch of New Customized Employment Program

Community Career Connections

I am pleased to announce the launch of our new Customized Employment Program on December 29, 2009. This program has been named Community Career Connections and is based on the Customized Employment Model of service delivery. Customized Employment is a process for individualizing the employment relationship between the employee and the employer in ways that meets the needs of both. It matches the unique strengths, needs and interests of the job seeker with the identified business needs of the employer. It is a business relationship that focuses on real work for real pay.
