Event Details

A Comprehensive Workshop designed to help parents, care givers and professionals become more comfortable and confident addressing sexuality issues that commonly surface among individuals with cognitive disabilities.  Best practice research for teaching sexuality to individuals with cognitive disabilities will be shared along along with resources and ideas.

 

Presenter: Terri Couwenhoven, MS is the author of Teaching Children with Down Syndrome About Their Bodies, Boundaries and Sexuality.  Drawing from her unique background as both a sexual educator and mother of a child with Down syndrome, Terri will incorporate factual information and practical ideas into this workshop.

 

Learning Objectives:
