A
SUPPORTED LIFE is a life that is rich in qualities a person most
desires, and one which shows how connected we all are to each other.
A
life which:
- grows
from a person's own choices, desires and dreams;
- is
not controlled by what kind of services are currently available;
- goes
beyond just meeting a person's basic needs, to reaching a rich quality
of life;
- includes
all areas of a person's life;
- is
always changing throughout a person's life;
- is
the kind of life we all want and is not unique to people who happen
to have disabilities.
