A 30-year-old individual has been living with his parents for six years.

The individual faces family pressure to secure employment due to past job challenges, indicating a need to align his aspirations with feasible goals. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) emphasizes that the first step in person-centered planning is to assist the individual in identifying their capacity (e.g., abilities, limitations) and goals to ensure rehabilitation efforts are meaningful and tailored (Task IV.A.1: "Conduct functional assessments to identify individual goals and strengths"). Option D (assist the individual to determine his capacity and goals) aligns with this, as understanding his physical limitations, interests, and employment aspirations (e.g., less physically demanding roles) provides the foundation for subsequent steps like job matching or resource identification.

Option A (assess the labor market) is premature without knowing the individual’s goals. Option B (assess strengths and weaknesses) is part of a functional assessment but follows goal identification to ensure relevance. Option C (identify resources) assumes employment as the goal without confirming the individual’s preferences. The PRA Study Guide highlights goal-setting as the initial step in addressing employment challenges, supporting Option D.
