Person-Centered Planning and Self-Determination Program
Independent Facilitation (IF) Services
APTA offers state-wide independent facilitation services to clients of regional centers ranging across all age groups (children and adults). We have expertise in creating a comprehensive person-centered plan and assisting our clients in selecting inclusive and integrated vendor providers that can effectively fulfill their individual needs. We are highly skilled in creating a spending plan that will successfully meet the wants and needs of our clients.
APTA's independent facilitation services aim to identify and address both immediate and long-term needs, develop potential solutions to meet those needs, actively participate and advocate for the clients during the person-centered planning process, and participate in developing the Individual Program Plan (IPP).
The person-centered planning approach offered by APTA assists clients in developing and articulating a future vision, assessing various options, engaging in decision-making, resolving problems, monitoring progress, and swiftly implementing necessary adjustments. It highlights the importance of taking personal responsibility, which includes making thoughtful judgments such as assessing the need for obtaining appropriate support.
