Work gives people a sense of purpose and self-worth. For many, it defines our identify and is a source of pride. Employment not only provides income and economic independence but also opportunities for rich social interactions and a sense of belonging. All individuals, regardless of disability, deserve the opportunity to be full members of the community where they can live, learn, work, and grow.
Across India, change leaders committed to better lives for people with developmental and psychosocial disability are talking about and learning about Social Role Valorization, a powerful set of ideas about how to assist people to have full, rich, meaningful lives. SRV provides a high order framework for understanding the society in which we live, and the place people with disabilities tend to hold within it. As well, SRV thinking is accompanied by very practical implementation strategies to help people with disabilities have access to the good things of life.
