Person Centered Planners of Southern California

Empowering individuals through accessible, personalized Self-Determination planning and Independent Facilitation

Our approach

We believe Self-Determination should feel empowering, not overwhelming.

Our approach starts with listening. We take the time to understand each participant — their goals, preferences, strengths, and support needs — and build plans that reflect real life, not just paperwork.

We partner with families to create thoughtful, customized Person-Centered Plans and Spending Plans that are both meaningful and compliant. We explain complex systems in clear, plain language and stay closely involved throughout the process.

As Independent Facilitators, our role is to guide, advocate, and problem-solve, helping you build a team and a plan that truly works. We walk alongside you from the first conversation through implementation and beyond.

We’re here to bring clarity, create personalized plans, offer ongoing support and advocacy, and give you the confidence and peace of mind to move forward.
