Social Rol Valorization (SRV) theory is an approach intending to explicate the processes which socially devaluate those individuals located in various social kategories, and designate them with devalued roles due to their differences. SRV Theory proposes that social positions of disabled persons, as being devalued category, can glow up by improving their capacity to undertake such social roles valued by the society they live in. This study aims to demonstrate that there is a remarkable relevance between forms of interpretation of disability in Turkish society and the main propositions of SRV Theory; Turkish society holds the proper socio-cultural background required SRV theory to be utilized as a socialwork implementation approach. These views have been discussed by holding up the employment of deaf individuals in state agencies and employment of blind individuals in religious services and Quran memorization sector in Ottoman period as examples.
