The central idea is that Support means helping a person participate in their community in ways they choose, with their own preferences guiding what they do. So a statement that says support should be about being involved in their community as much as they choose captures autonomy and self-direction—the core of how supports should function.

This fits because it keeps the person in control, inviting opportunities and resources so they can engage in community life to the level they want. It’s not limited to what staff think is best, nor restricted to a single domain like employment or health care decisions. Those narrower options don’t reflect the full scope of community participation or the person’s right to decide how they want to be involved.

In short, choosing to participate in community life to the extent the person desires embodies the guiding principle of Support.
