  1. SOCIAL ROLE VALORIZATION Wolf Wolfensberger M. Kiva

  2. SRV The major goal of SRV is to create or support socially valued roles for people in their society, because if a person holds valued social roles, that person is highly likely to receive from society those good things in life that are available to that society.

  3. Enhancing the perceived value of the social roles of a person or class is called social  role valorization, and doing so is role-valorizing. The more competencies a person is perceived or believed to have ( even if this is not accurate), that much more the person will be afforded positive opportunities.

  4. “ Good things in life” • home and family; • friendship; • being accorded dignity, • respect, • acceptance; • a sense of belonging; • an education, and the development and exercise of one's capacities; • a voice in the affairs of one's community and society; • opportunities to participate; • a decent material standard of living; • an at least normative place to live; • and opportunities for work and self-support.

  5. Relevance SRV is especially relevant to two classes of people in society: those who are already societally devalued, and those who are at heightened risk of becoming devalued. 

  6. Treatment Devalued individuals, groups, and classes are more likely than other members of society to be treated badly, and to be subjected to a systematic--and possibly life-long--pattern of such negative experiences as the following.

  7. EXAMPLES OF NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES • Being perceived and interpreted as "deviant," due to their negatively-valued differentness.  The latter could consist of physical or functional impairments, low competence, a particular ethnic identity, certain behaviors or associations, skin color, and many others. • Being rejected by community,  society,  and even family and services. • Being cast into negative social  roles,  some of which can be severely negative, such as "subhuman," "menace," and "burden on society." • Being the object of abuse,  violence,  and brutalization,  and even being made dead.

  8. Examples: the school environment • Student with guitar • Playing piano • Technological competency • Playing poker
