Quick Links Support Philosophy Support Planning What Supports Can Look Like We Support People Support Planning Support planning is a creative process that is continuous throughout a person’s life. The process is flexible and includes formal and informal conversations. Every person supported by LCDS has the opportunity to share their dreams and set goals at their Life Plan gatherings. The gathering is as unique as the person. We recognize the significant role that family members and friends can play in this process; their involvement and input is valuable to support staff. The purpose of planning is to provide direction to the support network and help a person reach their goals. At the heart of the support planning process is the desire to share and celebrate each person’s story.
