In reality\, they\, too\, are sexual beings that need information and skills for making healthy decisions about sexuality. As someone who works with people with developmental disabilities\, you may be the most likely person to discuss sexuality with them\, or someone with a developmental disability 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 people with developmental disabilities have safe and satisfying relationships. \nParticipants will: \n\nGain knowledge about sexuality and specific issues for people with developmental disabilities\nExplore our own values and attitudes regarding sexuality and people with developmental disabilities\nExplore ways to communicate about sexuality with people with developmental disabilities and their parents/guardians.\n\nSupported by a grant from \n \nThis document was developed under grant CFDA 93.791 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
