Description
A person-centred approach is where the person is placed at the centre of the service rather than their condition or disability. Support should focus on achieving the person's aspirations and be tailored to their needs and unique circumstances. Person-centred care, person-centred therapy and person-centred practices are commonly used in the health care context.
