"For me, the regularly updated person centered plan is critical for others in knowing what Lauren wants and doesn't want in her life; what I and others who care about Lauren have learned is important to and for her and how she best benefits from support.

The plan enables others to support the life my daughter wishes to have. It gives me peace that when I die, her life will continue to be rich" ~Trudy.
