What about examples of where a One Page Profile has made no difference at all?

So what made the difference?

Trainers Take One Page Profiles Seriously:•Use them in your own life and work•Share your own 1PP with the people you support•Share your 1pp with families

Common Errors:

1. Assuming that if it’s important to others, it must be important to the person

2. Being too brief or vague, so that words and phrases can be misinterpreted. ”privacy”, “independence”

3. Listing totally basic things: Food, shelter, clothing: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs should be taken as read unless there’s a good reason otherwise

4. Focussing on presentation at the expense of content
