It's time to transform.

Person Centered Consulting (PCC) is a training, development and technical assistance firm specializing in assessing, designing and supporting the implementation of person centered practices.  We believe person centered thinking is a mindset that drives all decisions within a person centered system.  We believe it takes committed and courageous leaders throughout an agency to accomplish true person centered practice. PCC combines person centered practices with high-quality performance expectations. We are dedicated to supporting people who support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. NOTE: PCC previously provided support as Management Support Solutions, Inc (MSSI).

Our mission is to expand person centered practice and transformational quality systems to all agencies delivering long term service and supports (LTSS). 

We value quality improvement and innovative practices which lead to transformative change in LTSS systems. We build innovative, high-quality systems of support through expanding knowledge and skill, assisting our clients to build collaborative networks, focus on customer expectations, and instilling a mindset of continuously seeking opportunities to improve.
