In Plain English:
If one of an Individual’s goals is to get out and do things – we assist them to go to museums, to movies, to state parks, to go fishing, to go swimming, whatever they decide that they want to do. The Individual will need to pay for their own meals, tickets, etc., but we provide the transportation and the physical assistance that they need to get out and do stuff. If they are not sure about things that they want to do, we can assist them to find and attend fun stuff for free or very low cost.
