  • To have a normal life and feel that it is okay.
    Who will take me to my soccer games?

  • To be listened to
    Who can I trust and talk to?

    Who will accept me for who I am and how I feel?

  • To be given choices.
    Can I take part in planning the services or attending if I choose to?

  • Good modeling.
    What are the people I look up to doing?

  • Inclusion
    Does what I think and feel matter?

  • A sense of control.
    How will I keep my world in place?
