Person-centered thinking hybrid training

About this training

Person-centered thinking (PCT) is a foundational mindset that enables those who support others to deliver support that is consistent with person-centered practices. Graduates gain in-depth instruction on how to use and apply 11 person-centered observational, management, and problem-solving skills that can revolutionize how to support a person.

Graduates are also trained to accurately complete the person-centered description (PCD). An accurate PCD can drastically improve the services and supports of a person as well as improve quality of life.

This training and the PCD ensure your staff are helping a person find and maintain positive control of their life, in addition to preserving information about a person, while helping staff work more effectively and efficiently.

Upon successfully completing both parts, the learner will receive a certificate indicating they have been certified by the Learning Community for Person-Centered Practices to use the PCT skills gained throughout the course.
