(B) avoids unacceptable actions and situations.

These basic values/beliefs are:

1. Community integration
2. Holistic interactions as value members of a social activist movement
3. Equal treatment as citizens
4. Equally valued as members of a social activist movement
5. Choice and self-determination
6. Real lives in real homes

These approaches for achievement are:

1. The empowerment of people with disabilities to locate, develop, obtain or capture the necessary resources for individual uses as well as for building a community support system
2. The development of a culture and politics based on equality and full citizenship for all people.
3. Framing issues, polices and practices holistically and not in the medical model or through segregation terms.
4. The organizing of people and groups into mutually supportive and caring neighborhood and community at large.
5. Building customized personal support systems one person at a time.
