Appreciation and One-Page Profiles is the topic of Helen’s new blog
12 January 2012
On Saturday night, my 13- year-old daughter Laura asked me if she could do another one-page profile. Laura is proud to have had the very first one-page profile ever! This was when she was seven and was struggling at school because her teacher did not know her well, or how best to support her. From age 7 - 11 we updated her one-page profile every year, up to her transition to secondary school. We spent Saturday evening writing a new one and this evening she is finishing a self-portrait to go with it. This has got me thinking again about the headings in a one page profile and in particular, how they convey appreciation.
There are three components of a one-page
profile. They are usually referred to as 'like and admire'; what is
important to you; and best to support you. In person-centred
thinking, we talk about this being what is 'important to you' and
what is 'important for you', and the balance between the two.
Chocolate is important to Laura. As her parent, I have to try and
balance how important chocolate is to Laura, with
how it is important for her to have healthy teeth
and limit her fat and sugar intake. Therefore she has chocolate on
her list of what is important to her and the support section
reflects the balance we have negotiated of no more than two treats
a day.
Over the last week, I have developed a new understanding of just how important the appreciation section of a one-page profile is. The first people to benefit from person-centred thinking and planning were people with learning disabilities. I understood the 'like and admire' section as a way to balance and redress the negative stereotypes people had endured.
