8^th International Social Role Valorization Conference

The Good Things of Life at Home, School, Work, and Beyond

Celebrating over 50 years of Normalization and Social Role Valorization!

This conference is an exciting opportunity to meet and hear from people from around the world who are using SRV to support others to create better lives for themselves.

Social Role Valorization (SRV) and its predecessor, Normalization, have been very powerful ideas in assisting people with disabilities and other devalued conditions to have positive social roles as a productive and helpful response to wounding life experiences. SRV is a comprehensive theory which provides insights as to why certain groups of people become devalued in society, what life experiences are likely to befall people once they have become devalued in the eyes of others, why valued social roles are a powerful response in combatting the negative life experiences, and ten essential themes which can guide implementers in pursuing valued social roles by, with, and for those practitioners desire to serve.
