Special needs adults can become trapped in situations they did not choose, under caretakers who do not understand their true needs. Let’s set them free, following these established principles of care.

  1. Autonomy and Choice: Promote independence by allowing individuals to make daily choices and participate in decisions about their care.

  2. Dignity and Respect: Treat adults with respect, speaking to them directly rather than about them, and honoring their personal values.

  3. Community Inclusion: Support opportunities for social interaction, enabling participation in community life, relationships, and activities to avoid isolation.

  4. Active Support and Participation: Encourage individuals to engage in tasks themselves rather than doing things for them.
