The Spring 2023 edition of Autism Spectrum News includes an article by AHRC NYC’s Trudy Ann Pines, MSEd, Assistant Principal at AHRC NYC Middle/High School in Brooklyn, NY.
“Person-centered planning has indeed evolved toward an empathic approach that empowers and motivates children and young adults with developmental disabilities, as well as their parents and/or caregivers. With the opportunity to articulate a vision, parents and caregivers consider different paths, and engage in natural conversations centered on their children. Over time, this approach has improved the relationship between parents/caregivers and their children, while promoting respect and dignity, which forges a deeper emotional bond.”
