- Professional financial management, including careful investment and protection of funds left by families or others, and to ongoing advocacy for government and private funds necessary to supplement their earnings and savings, so that adequate supports be available for their lives.
- Adequate and effective education that equips individuals for a successful life lived to the fullest, including, in every appropriate case, preparation to live in the community;
- A daily life that includes activities that integrate individuals into the overall life of the community; that people get out and about, making friends and doing the essential business of their lives;
