Person-Directed Planning is a powerful approach that helps you create a life that reflects what matters most to YOU. This practical and interactive training teaches people with disabilities to take control, make decisions, and design a future that aligns with your dreams and goals.


From housing and jobs to relationships and health, this process focuses on your strengths and interests—not what others think you need. Your plan is flexible, actionable, and evolves with you. Join us to discover how to turn your vision into reality and lead the life you deserve!


Because of a grant from West Virginia Developmental Disabilities Council, Expectations Matter is FREE to all West Virginians with disabilities and their family members! Need help getting there? We have limited funds available to support those without transportation.
