I will guide you through the reflection tasks that offer you and others a chance to see your life differently and find new directions for change, using the workbook “Life Building: Opening Windows to Change” by Dr. Beth Mount. This planning tool involves up to 3 2-hour meetings with the focus person, and when the exercises are complete they will receive a full report that summarizes their reflections along with recommendations on how to move forward together with their Circle of Support. COST: $500.

I will help you prepare a gathering of your Circle of Support, then come to your gathering and facilitate the conversation about moving forward together. This is usually done following a person-centered plan, but that is not required. If you are ready to gather those you trust most and ask them to support your vision but are unsure or afraid to “do the ask” then this is for you. COST: $200 for up to 3 hours.

Cheryl Ryan Chan is an experienced consultant who will guide you through the creation and application of planning, information-sharing and communication management tools that will be most beneficial to your individualized needs. Please note, Cheryl is NOT an educational advocate. Cheryl is based in Auburn, MA and will travel within 30 miles of Worcester, MA; beyond this distance, clients may be asked to meet at a chosen location mid-way OR additional fees for travel may apply.

This is the first step we take together in the person-centered planning process. In this step we talk by phone for about an hour, and the purpose is to learn more about why you're considering a plan for yourself or your loved one. After this step, we will guide you through how to schedule the next meeting.

We come to you for this one; either your home or a location in your community. Just a facilitator, parents/guardians if necessary, and “the focus person” need to attend. We understand sometimes the focus person cannot attend. We will explain the whole process and walk you through how to prepare for the actual meeting. The meeting is about 1 ½ hours. Your first deposit is due at this meeting, payable by cash or check (please refer to your contract).

This is the "big meeting" that will include your Circle of Support. We come to your chosen location in your community (we discuss this at the pre-PLAN meeting). Please make sure you choose a date at least 2 weeks from today to allow your Circle of Support members to put it on their calendars. Your next deposit is due at this meeting (check, money order or cash is accepted).

This meeting should take place approximately 4-6 weeks following your main meeting (MAP or PATH). We can come to you or we can conduct the meeting by phone. Your final payment is due at this meeting (check, money order or cash is accepted).
