Matthew has always had a strong vision for himself as an independent person. His family were surprised and concerned at his plan to move to a larger nearby town. However, they wanted him to achieve his goals, so they supported him to that end. Originally, different options were considered, one of which was the idea of cluster housing with shared support. Matthew preferred the idea of a regular home in a regular street. He did not want to be defined by his disability. In the end they followed Matthew’s wishes.
