ABSTRACT

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of special education teachers at a special school while they established and implemented personal-centered plans that utilize the Supports Intensity Scale for children. [Method] Data were collected through meetings, interviews, and class logs from September to December 2020 and a case study was conducted. [Results] The students participated in their person-centered plan meetings and tried to reach their own goals with supports from special teachers and parents based on their strengths and aspirations. During this process, the priority for the special teachers to focus on in class was determined and both parents and students cooperated systematically with each other. The implications of implementing person-centered plans were as follows: (a) the person-centered planning placed the student at the center of the overall process from the beginning to the end, (b) stakeholders worked together to reflect the philosophy of person-centered planning in their own classes, and (c) there is still a long way to go in order to successfully implement person-centered plans. [Conclusion] When person-centered plans are applied at school sites, They should be harmonized with each student’s individualized education plan. In addition, flexible instructional designs and instruction reconstruction need to be considered.
