• The breakdown of the delegated approach to serving people with developmental disabilities and the search for good support forms through innovation in an evolving developmental disabilities field.
• Moving from client-hood and consumerism to citizenship by undertaking a quest for communities of diversity and mutuality.
• The design and delivery of individualized supports through the development of blue spaces that encourage generative action in self, relationships and organizations.
