We investigated a brief, embedded assessment for evaluating preferences sampled from person‐centered plans. After developing person‐centered plans for individuals with multiple disabilities, systematic assessments were conducted with preferences sampled from the plans. An assessment of sampled preferences was then embedded within the participants' daily routines. The two assessments identified similar preferences based on participant approach responses. Both assessments also indicated inconsistencies with reported preferences in the person‐centered plans. Overall, results suggested the embedded assessment may be an alternative means of evaluating some preferences reported through person‐centered planning.
