Social Role Valorisation / Normalisation
The Diligio Formulation of SRV
This article explains the theory of Social Role Valorisation (formerly
known as normalisation).
Social Role Valorization - Understanding SRV [Warning: very large rtf file - see note below]
by Paul Jenkins
from his Diligio website
This is a comprehensive account of Social Role Valorisation. It isn't an
easy read because SRV looks at devaluation in great detail. But that's what
makes it worth reading.
NB: This file is very large (1.8Mb) and will take a long time to download

Some Reasons Why Social Role Valorization is Important
by Michael Kendrick
on Social Role Valorization site
In this article Michael Kendrick argues that "social role valorization will
continue to be important because it does address issues of profound human significance
which are universal in application and which broach tanscendent values and
reality" and "the key issues that SRV raises promise to challenge human conduct
for many years to come."
