This is a reply to Bleasdale's critique of an SRV lecture series (File No. 10518). Armstrong has some interesting counter arguments to Bleasdale's assertions that SRV does not call for society to change but rather that people with intellectual disabilities should take on the values of the dominant culture. He also has some interesting comments to make about the way Bleasdale sees 'deviancy' (arguing that Bleasdale himself sees it as something inherent to the person, rather than something that has been socially constructed).
