“…Although there are a variety of approaches to PCP (see, for example, Miner & Bates, 1997;Pearpoint, O'Brien, & Forest, 1993), each places the youth in the center of planning and implementation. Values embedded in PCP strategies include focusing on the strengths, preferences, and dreams of people with disabilities; increasing self-determination of consumers; and including a diverse group of people from the family, agency/system, and community in planning and implementing long-term goals (O'Brien & O'Brien, 2002).…”

“…Although scholars and practitioners have documented the social validity of PCP, fewer studies have presented empirical evidence of its efficacy in relation to goal attainment and resource development for people with disabilities (Holburn, 2002). Some of the founding contributors to the development of PCP, however, argue that such documentation is neither possible nor appropriate because this type of futures planning is more than an intervention composed of a set of discreet, reproducible steps in a process (O'Brien, 2002). According to this view, PCP is part of a larger political movement that rejects the notion that people without disabilities are responsible for acting on the behalf of others with disabilities.…”

Person-centered planning (PCP) is a recommended practice in developing and implementing individualized futures plans of and by youth and adults with disabilities. Yet, little is known about the cultural responsiveness of PCP, a salient issue because values and beliefs about transition differ across and within groups. Community connectors, facilitators of futures planning in two culturally distinct areas (a Spanish-speaking, socioeconomically depressed urban area and a suburb of English-speaking people from middle- and uppersocioeconomic backgrounds), were interviewed regarding their implementation of Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope and their responses to the preferences, strengths, and needs of families. Person-centered planning was effective in addressing transition-related concerns and obstacles to collaboration identified by community connectors, who adapted this model to address perceived community needs.

“…Person-Centered Thinking (PCT) is a pivotal element in the development of planning practices, rmly upholding the value of respecting and addressing individuals' unique experiences and needs. In this manner, PCT stands above the traditional and system-centric models [12,13,14,15]The framework demonstrates widespread application across the human services eld, extending beyond the con nes of disability services to encompass mental health and elderly care areas. This bears testament to PCT's exibility and adaptability in catering to diverse human needs [1,28].…”

Aim: This study aimed to interpret the experiences of Korea's first trainers in Person-Centered Thinking (PCT) training and provide guidelines for future contextually relevant programs. Design: Utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the research explored subjective experiences of four pioneering PCT trainers in Korea, emphasizing the importance of subjectivity within the training process. Findings: Four distinct themes emerged, representing the trainers' transformative journey: "Ignition: The Spark of Change," "Illumination: Lighting the Path Ahead," "Guidance: Navigating Progress," and "Introspection: The Destination of Transformation." These encapsulate the nuanced dimensions of their training. Discussion: The study unravels the complexities of becoming a PCT trainer in Korea, emphasizing training as a transformative journey, surpassing mere skill acquisition. It underscores the need for tailored, contextually-appropriate PCT training. Conclusion: The findings are vital for developing context-specific PCT training in Korea. They offer insights shaping PCT's future direction, particularly highlighting the significance of understanding and addressing relationships within the training system.

“…While it is widely accepted that research on transitioning frameworks, models and theories has evolved over time (Carter et al 2009 ; Elder 1994 ; O’Brien & O’Brien 2000 ; Ryan & Deci 2000 ), a lack of focussed studies delivering evidence for improving practice remains (Lindsay et al 2019 ). One specific crisis area requiring deeper exploration is that of career guidance and the post-secondary schooling impact for people with disabilities (Trainor et al 2020 ; Wehmeyer et al 2019 ).…”

Background: Globally, there is a disparity that exists between equal employment opportunities for people with disabilities post-schooling. While South Africa has aimed at the inclusion of people with disabilities, there has not been sufficient evidence of a successful transition from school to work environments.Objectives: This study documents the experiences and barriers that influence the preparation of high school students with disabilities for post-secondary education and work opportunities.Method: A qualitative research methodology employing multiple case study design was used where semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with youth between the ages of 18 years and 36 years who were currently employed. The participants were identified through purposeful sampling. Data were analysed by thematic analysis.Results: The findings indicate two overarching themes indicating that the career choices of participants, firstly, were significantly influenced by teacher and guidance counsellor expectations and, secondly, experiences of discouragement where personal agency and autonomy were limited.Conclusion: This study illuminates the need to enhance the decisions around careers for people with disabilities which should debunk the expectations of society.Contribution: This study will make teachers, mentors and counsellors more aware of their contribution, influence and support to youth with disabilities as they transition into the workplace.
