PEAR TREE™ About Me Resources

PEAR TREE About Me Home Baby & Toddler, Child & Teen, Adult & Older Adult

This downloadable collection includes four PEAR TREE™ About Me versions: Home, Baby & Toddler, Child & Teen, and Adult. Each version provides a clear and flexible structure for recording personalised information under four connected areas: Person, Environment, Activity and Relational Response.

The resource helps create a fuller picture of an individual by considering not only the person, but also their surroundings, the activity or situation involved and how other people respond to and interact with them. Users can decide what information to include, allowing the completed resource to reflect the person’s own voice, strengths, preferences, needs and everyday experiences.

It can be completed independently or collaboratively with family members, carers or professionals, then shared with relevant people to promote greater understanding and more consistent, respectful support. The information can also be reviewed and updated as needs, routines and circumstances change.

This is a person-centred information-sharing resource and is not a standardised assessment.

PEAR TREE About Me School, Work, Community, Hospital

This downloadable collection includes four PEAR TREE™ About Me versions designed for School, Work, Community and Hospital settings. Each version offers a simple, structured way to record personalised information under four connected areas: Person, Environment, Activity and Relational Response.

The resource recognises that a person’s experience and participation may change depending on where they are, what they are being asked to do and how others communicate with and respond to them. It provides space to capture what matters to the individual, what others may need to understand, what may make participation easier or more difficult and what respectful support could look like within each setting.

The resource can be completed independently or collaboratively with families, educators, employers, carers or healthcare professionals. Once completed, it can be used as a clear reference to support communication, shared understanding and continuity across different people and services.
