Description
This course examines the common place practice of withholding sexuality education and sexual health services for developmentally disabled (DD) people. These actions result in excessive restrictions, ongoing assaults on sexual rights for DD people, and disproportionate uses of power and exploitation against DD people.
We will propose strategies that sexual health practitioners can use to support healthy sexuality for DD people.
