Sexuality Education
Sexuality Education
Disabled people are often left out of the conversation about sexuality, almost as if they are incapable of having thoughts, feelings, and needs. In reality, they too are sexual beings that need information and skills for making healthy decisions about sexuality. This is a basic human right and we as parents and clinicians can learn to provide support in this area. I provide both parent and staff training on supporting disabled people with comprehensive sexuality education. This can be a virtual or in-person service depending on location and was developed by Elevatus Training.
​Staff Training
As someone who works with disabled people, you may be the most likely person to discuss sexuality with them, or someone who is disabled may approach you with questions about sexuality. This workshop will help you become more comfortable talking about this sensitive topic by discussing what needs to be taught when and how to help disabled people have safe and satisfying relationships.
​
Participants will:
• Gain knowledge about sexuality and specific issues for disabled people
• Explore our own values and attitudes regarding sexuality and disabled people
• Explore ways to communicate about sexuality with disabled people and their parents/guardians.

*This workshop is 8 hours

Parent Workshop
Talking with our young and grown children about sexuality can be a difficult task. As parents and guardians, we often worry whether talking about it gives permission and whether they can be safe from harm when they are in relationships. This workshop will help you become more comfortable discussing this topic by covering what topics to cover when and the most effective ways to talk about this sensitive topic.
Goals:
-
Examine barriers to talking about sexuality.
-
Gain knowledge about sexuality and developmental disabilities.
-
Acquire and practice skills in communicating about sexuality with our young and
grown children.
