Social Role Valorization (SRV) is a powerful set of ideas about assisting people to have full, rich, meaningful lives. SRV provides a high-order framework for understanding our society and the place people with disabilities tend to hold within it. SRV thinking is also accompanied by very practical implementation strategies to help people with disabilities have access to the good things in life. This overview event will present the idea of assisting people with disabilities and other devalued conditions to have positive social roles as a productive and helpful response to wounding life experiences.
