Person-centered planning builds on an individual’s goals by identifying strengths and resources to support their achievement. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) specifies that after identifying goals, the next step is to conduct a strengths-based assessment to highlight the individual’s capabilities, interests, and supports that can be leveraged to achieve their aspirations (Task IV.A.1: "Conduct functional assessments to identify individual goals and strengths"). Option B (conducting a strengths-based assessment) aligns with this, as it ensures the plan is grounded in the individual’s existing assets, fostering hope and tailoring strategies to their unique strengths.
Option A (performing a functional assessment) is broader and includes strengths but also deficits, making it less specific than a strengths-based focus. Option C (developing a treatment plan) is premature, as assessment must precede planning, and “treatment” is a clinical term not aligned with rehabilitation’s focus. Option D (scheduling an interdisciplinary team meeting) may occur later but is not the immediate next step after goal identification. The PRA Study Guide emphasizes strengths-based assessment as critical for person-centered planning, supporting Option B.
