Taking control of my life my might mean:
- Making decisions about where I live and who I live with
- Making decisions about support services and support staff
- Making decisions about my daily schedule and routines
- Making decisions about social relationships
- Making decisions about my healthcare
And many more…
Some ways of taking control are:
- manage your own supports through Self-Determination
- find an agency that promotes real choice and control
- become your own guardian
If you want help with this, you can:
- see if a family member or friend will help
- see if an agency staff person will help
- ask a family member, friend, or staff person to help with Person-Centered Planning and a Circle of Support
