EGL Principles in Action

Understanding the EGL Principle 'Person Centred'

 

Person-centred means the plan is built around the person, not the system. Their interests, culture, communication style, sensory needs, strengths, and routines all matter.
 

Instead of fitting into a service, the supports fit around the person.
 

In real life: Ezekiel’s family can live life at HIS pace, there are less pressures and constraints due to how he can use Enabling Good Lives. A great example in the video is how they can get an annual zoo pass, this allows them to do short trips to see one animal rather than feel they need to see everything on a one day pass.
 

Watch Ezekiels story to learn more about how EGL works for him and his whānau.
