Living fully in society and being involved in it means that a person can follow exactly the way of life that is shaped and used in his society. This includes access to public services, housing and transportation on the same terms as the rest of society, a comfortable existence “in one’s own neighborhood,” the ability to walk the streets freely, build friendships and other relationships with people, the ability to take risks and responsibility for their own lives, and the right to the same protection and insurance (if not in full) that is provided to the rest of society. Standing up for the right to a full life in society means making this principle a reality for all people with disabilities, taking into account each person’s individual preferences and wishes.
