Authority and Support: in conflict 9. Maeve keeps talking about how she'd like to have an apartment of her own but her staff are quick to point out that she wouldn't be able to take care of herself. There are too many things she doesn't know.

 

 

Points to Ponder:

• How is this story an example of authority and support in conflict?
• How do you explain the response of Maeve's staff?
• How would you react if you were Maeve, a member of her family, her support coordinator?

 

Now it's your turn!

Think about someone you know and a time that authority and support were in conflict for them. 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.
