Imitation is one of the most powerful learning and teaching tools that we have, and yet, we often fail to use its potential to teach positive and adaptive competencies and behaviors. When we hear the word imitation, we generally think of a relatively simple process of seeing something and then copying it – and indeed, imitation is one of the most primitive learning modes of all.
This workshop gives participants a practical introduction to the principles of Social Role Valorization.
Mindsets are powerful shapers of action. Our mindsets govern what we see, what we perceive, and how we respond to the world around us and the people we encounter. Intended for those with some exposure to Social Role Valorization (SRV), this workshop will examine the power of mindsets, and the sorts of strategies that might help shift the thinking of others around disability, and people with disabilities.
