ID# 40 (Repeat) Video and Discussion – Valuing Lives Wolf Wolfensberger and the Principle of Normalization
Participants will view and discuss a film documenting the social paradigm shift triggered by Wolf Wolfensberger, a professor and change agent who, in the early 1970s, popularized and expanded the principle of normalization of people with disabilities into a framework for community inclusion.
People are often judged according to how they conform to commonly-held beliefs of what is normal - normal appearance, behavior, ability. And those deemed "abnormal" can be considered undeserving of common respect, dignity, and even basic rights. For many with intellectual and developmental disabilities, this has meant segregation, isolation, and exclusion, with little or no opportunity to access the good things in life.
The film reviews the history of treatment of people with intellectual disabilities and the changes that have happened as the assumptions of disability and role of human services has evolved.

After two action packed days, we invite you to pass through the Plaza Foyer for a fun “Send-Off” hosted by your INARF Training and Professional Development Committee members and INARF staff. We’ll be there to capture your CEU Card, hear about your favorite sessions, learn about new friends you met, and to tuck a small snack under your arm for the ride home.
