Why a PCP plan for your child?
You might have a need to get extra supports in teaching your loved
one basic life skills, or you might have educational or medical
concerns. Perhaps your loved one has special talents, needs,
or skills. Maybe your loved one
has a developmental disability and you need guidance on available resources,
or help in getting supports in place for your child. A PCP plan can help
direct you to journey on a path to succeed with your and your loved one’s
dreams or needs.
Why a PCP plan for your teenager?
These are the years that a plan can be most beneficial for:
- planning future career development, training, and education
- planning for an educational path for college prep course
studies
- planning for college
- planning for developing skills and talents in special interests
- planning for services for special needs that might be behavioral,
medical, or developmental
- walk you and your teenager through the difficult process
in discovering what they might want to prepare for their future
- planning for living independently
We help you and your teenager to work through this process,
and then help you and your teenager to focus on the supports
needed to get to their desired goals.
Why a PCP plan for young adults?
Many young adults are overwhelmed with life decisions that will
impact their lives now, and then in later years. There is so
much information available, and many times it is confusing
to sort through the various life needs and opportunities.
A plan can assist in mapping out finances, housing, medical
concerns, education, career, and family life needs that are a
concern to the young adult. A PCP plan can help to work out a
plan for independent living. A plan can help put the focus on
the supports and resources available to a young adult.
If the young adult has developmental disabilities, then a plan
can be used to map out the supports and services that will help
this young adult to live independent of family supports, safely
and healthy, and according to their own hopes and dreams.
Why a PCP plan for adults?
Many adults can become overwhelmed with the many aspects of daily
living. Perhaps they were too busy to train for a career, or
perhaps formalized education was not available to them after
their public schooling finished. Family responsibilities grew,
and providing for those family members became the priority.
Some adults find themselves ready to pursue their dreams, but
they don’t know where to start or where to look for helpful
resources.
An adult might find themselves wanting to plan for a home purchase
or even a small business venture, but they don’t know where
to start or how to create a plan for success.
Those adults that are developmentally disabled, or behaviorally
or mentally challenged, can benefit by a PCP plan in their adult
years as well. A PCP plan can help to work out service needs,
schooling, skill training, housing, and independent living arrangements.
Why a PCP plan for maturing adults?
As all adults journey through the middle years of their lives,
a new focus is on the plans for the care of their aging parents,
and even their own care as they age. A plan is needed ahead
of time to prepare for these life changing circumstances.
New and different housing, medical (and non-medical maintenance
concerns), and safety concerns develop with the aging process.
Life companions can become hospitalized long term or might pass
on, leaving the other aging adult all alone and lost as what
to do with their life next. Many times they have difficulty in
managing their funds or living situations.
You might have an aging loved one with developmental disabilities.
It is important to have a plan for them to be maintained in a
happy, healthy, and safe environment in your absence. A PCP plan
will organize a path to independent living, socialization, even
skill training for your loved one. |
