Support: the ideal 13. Bobbie's support person will ask Bobbie how she wants to be helped before jumping in with a suggestion or solution. And often Bobbie will speak up if she needs some extra help with a task.

 

 

Points to Ponder:

• How is this story an example of the ideal amount of support?
• How is this also an example of responsibility?
• How would you describe the relationship between Bobbie and her support person?

Now it's your turn!

Think about someone you know and a time they had just the right amount of support. Write a few sentences about it and to send it to us. We'll post your story below. The more stories we can collect, the more all of us will understand about how self-determination happens in real-time.
