Which is a goal of supports?

Supports are designed to help the person stay connected to the community and live more independently. The goal is to empower the individual and their family to use resources in a way that promotes autonomy, skills, and meaningful participation, rather than creating dependence on formal services. Maintaining the ability to remain in the community directly reflects this aim by prioritizing inclusion, safety, and everyday living in familiar surroundings. Increasing dependency on formal supports would move away from promoting independence and community living. Replacing family involvement undermines the collaborative, person-centered approach that grounds self-directed supports. Limiting community inclusion directly conflicts with the purpose of supports, which is to help individuals participate in their communities.
