P
RACTICE
MAKES
PERFECT
Practice the Power Center procedures often
The more you practice – the better you get at them
The better you get – the more you’re in control of
yourself
The more you’re in control of yourself – the less
adults have to be in control of you
The less adults have to be in control of you – the
more decisions you will be able to make for yourself
The more decisions you make for yourself – the
more self-determined you become
The more self-determined you become – the more
your dreams become reality
… one choice at a time!
