Person-Centered Planning and Wrap-Around
The Basics
PCP
is a process designed to assist someone to make plans for their future. It is used most often as a life planning model to enable individuals with disabilities or otherwise requiring support to increase their personal self-determination and improve their own independence. This ultimately leads to greater inclusion as valued members of both community and society.
Wrap-Around
Wraparound services are family and child-centered, and they can take place in variety of settings, not just one place. Services are defined by the Behavior Treatment Plan, or Behavior Care Plan. Progress is monitored with data, updated regularly and reevaluated every three months. Also, wraparound services are often very personal. Some families may need to adjust to new persons actively joining their daily activities.

Federal Policies and Legislation
The transition services that school districts are required to provide under Chapter 285 continue to be defined by the federal IDEA 2004. IDEA 2004 defines transition services as a "coordinated set of activities designed to be within a results-oriented process that is focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child's movement from school to post-school activities."2 Under IDEA 2004, transition planning must take place for the student who is 14 years of age and, if needed, the IEP Team must include appropriate goals related to postsecondary training, education, employment, and independent living skills in the student's IEP.3
