DESCRIPTION:Social Role Valorization (SRV) is a theory first coined by Wol
 f Wolfensberger (1983)\, and proposes the creation and support of socially
  valued roles for all people in society\, especially those who have been h
 istorically marginalized. SRV theory champions the idea that if a person h
 as a valued social role\, (s)he has a real opportunity to obtain the good 
 things in life\, such as autonomy\, friendship\, and voice. While thoughtf
 ul design of physical products can surely assist people facing challenges\
 , the constructs of human relationships and human services (like education
 ) also play critical roles in terms of providing authentic opportunities f
 or happiness and success. This presentation highlights several key compone
 nts of SRV theory and its relationship to designing inclusive educational 
 settings.
