Person centered planning is basically the concept that the person with Autism's wants, needs, strengths, and weaknesses are explored.
Mylinda Elliott is the parent of five children. The third of the five has Autism which was diagnosed early on. The fourth of the five children has Aspergers. She is a self taught expert on Autism Spectrum Disorders. Mylinda Elliott has also worked professionally in the disability world for the past fifteen years. She is considered the "Go To" woman for advice or resources on disabilities. All this social success depends on our own ability to "read a situation."
