Essential lifestyle planning is a guided process for learning how someone wants to live and for developing a plan to help make it happen. It’s also: a snapshot of how someone wants to live today, serving as a blueprint for how to support someone tomorrow; a way of organizing and communicating what is important to an individual in “user friendly”, plain language; a flexible process that can be used in combination with other person centered planning techniques; and, a way of making sure that the person is heard, regardless of the severity of his or her disability. Developing plans that really reflect how people want to live require: the perspectives of those who know and care about the person; their stories about good days and bad; and, what they like and admire about the person.
