Person-centred thinking

This course introduces the Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) Review, which is designed to transfer existing SEN statements and LDAs into EHC plans or create new EHC plans.

If you work with people with dementia and want to know what personalisation can really mean in practice, or if you want ways to keep improving the support you offer, then we can help you to make positive change.

All of the examples shared on this course will be examples of how person-centred thinking skills have been used with older people with dementia who live in residential services, use day services or are supported by family or domiciliary care.

We believe that completing this course will either begin or add to your understanding of what being person-centred means. What is more, the person-centred thinking tools will give you some practical ways to help people take control of their lives and support.

In busy schools, it is often difficult to release staff for training; this e-learning package enables SENCOs to learn at their own pace and at the times that suit them best. It gives an opportunity to revisit the tools and to explore how they can be applied. With a mix of film, audio and text, it is an engaging way to learn about this approach and shares practical tools to use in schools.

All of the examples shared on this course will be examples of how person-centred thinking skills have been used with older people who live in residential services, use day services or are supported by family or domiciliary care.

The course provides opportunities to practice these skills and think about how to apply them in your work.

This e-learning course can be used on mobile devices, and takes 6-7 hours to complete the 12 modules.

This e-learning module was developed with Ambitious about Autism, the national charity for children and young people with autism. It builds on learning from the Finished at School programme – a Department for Education funded project to improve school to college transition for young people with autism, including those with complex autism.
