Just as Alicia's supported community living provider, Jill, arrived at Alicia's apartment to take Alicia to her doctor's appointment, she received notice that appointment was canceled. Since Jill had already blocked off time for the appointment, she asked Alicia if she wanted to go out and do something. Alicia said that there was an antique show this week that she had hoped to go to, but she didn't think she would get a ride there otherwise. Jill agreed to go with Alicia to the show. Alicia is interested in antiques and enjoyed looking at them at the show. She returned to her apartment with a small jewelry box she thought was cute and which she could afford.

Does this qualify as a Community Inclusion activity?

Your answer: No

Incorrect. Because the activity originated from Alicia and was one she wanted to do, it qualifies as person directed. The antique show is conducted for only one week, so it would not be considered an everyday activity. Because it is out in the community and sponsored by an organization that is not a provider agency, it is community based. And because it is open to the general public, including people with and without disabilities, it is integrated. Therefore, this activity would satisfy the criteria for community inclusion as a cultural activity.
