Some are there who dream of something and wish to turn it in reality (Thompson, Kilbane &
Sanderson, 2007). Person Centered Approach is the way out to make the plan for the families
and person and help them. It is the process which involves continuous listening and learning with
the major focus on the person who needs help in present and future. It involves the working with
the disable persons (Sanderson.H, 2000). The major principle of person centered approach is that
the person care and need is the most priority thing for the approach. It is evident from the dream
house project, each of the children kirk, Justin and Sarah is the major focus for the care. They
were away from their families to be independent in their life. The support staff assist them in
doing new thing, listening to their query and address those with full respect. On good
communication with the children and the families the support staff identified the type of care
that’s need to be given to the children. It is seen from the dream house project, the children were
not compelled not do any task, their choice were given preference. The support staff understand
their capabilities and strength and planned the thing accordingly. Sarah is vision impaired girl,
support staff identified her potential and made her learn to cook and how to feel independent.
