Share your loved one’s strengths with the world when you create a one-page profile!
A one-page profile is an amazing person-centered tool that communicates, in a simple and visual way, a positively focused summary of what others admire about your child.
It also includes what is important to them, how to best support them, and a way to communicate what’s working and not working for them. It can help teachers, therapists, caregivers, doctors, family members, and others provide person-centered care and support.
Simply put, a one-page profile is a snapshot of how an individual can be best supported. Here’s a redacted version of a real one-person profile.
It’s easy to create a one-page profile. Think about the many ways that your loved one can be supported. Ask yourself questions like: What is their favorite activity? What do they always carry with them? How can I keep them safe? What’s my favorite thing about this person? What do they need help with?
