Social Role Valorization

Join us for two days of learning, discovery, and design, as we explore visual and inclusive processes of envisioning the future, and design ways to move forward, and create change. This course is intended to develop awareness in using Social Role Valorization as a strong foundation and using PATH and Personal Futures Planning as creative ways to imagine and plan for change. PATH is a planning process developed by Jack Pearpoint and John O'Brien, to assist people, groups, or organizations to move towards a positive future. Personal Futures Planning uses a foundation of capacity-based planning to design positive and possible futures. These tools are used by people with disabilities and their allies, including professionals, who wish to explore a different life course, and by associations of people looking to establish a vision along with a strategy to move towards it.
