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.

We Appreciate Each one of you who Participated in our 7/29/2021 Supported Life 1-Day Virtual Workshop
This will surely come as no surprise to you. With the continued public health conditions, we are sadly not able to have the in-person October Conference we had hoped to have. Keep working for Inclusion for All. We hope you are taking every opportunity to safeguard your health and the health of your families. This will help make it possible to have in-person Conferences like Supported Life again soon...
Please look ahead to early February 2022 as we plan for a Supported Life in-person or hybrid opportunity. Stay tuned!
