Offering choices when appropriate aligns with which principle in client-centered planning?

• A. Providing options for activities and tasks
• B. Forcing a single routine
• C. Reducing client input
• D. Limiting communication

Answer: (A)

Offering choices in activities and tasks reflects the client-centered approach of supporting autonomy and active participation. When you present options, you invite the client to express preferences and help shape their routine, which increases motivation, engagement, and cooperation. This personalization helps align supports with the client’s strengths and interests, making it more likely they will participate and follow through. Forcing a single routine undermines the client’s sense of control. Reducing client input and limiting communication also conflict with this approach, as they deny the client a voice in decisions about their own life. Providing options for activities and tasks is the best fit.
