Real Life Choices assists individuals and families with creating positive outcomes through the use of a person-centered thinking model, the Essential Lifestyle Plan (ELP). The ELP is a strengths-based tool that permits people and their families to go beyond simple identification of service needs, and allows them to focus on what is important to them and permits them to build their personal choices into their plan.
The ELP changes the focus from goals identified by professionals to goals identified by consumers and their families. Because outcomes are identified by the individual, personal satisfaction becomes the major indicator of the achievement of those outcomes.
It is through the personalized design and use of ELP that the true power of Real Life Choices will be achieved by the individual receiving services. |
