Sexual Health, Neurodivergence and Disability
The Difficult Bits
People in support roles are frequently asked to support neurodivergent and disabled individuals who struggle with their sexuality and sexual expression, however, people aren’t trained to provide respectful, inclusive supports.
This workshop is designed for direct service professionals (DSPs), supervisors, and managers within disability agencies to learn more about what your role is, and isn’t, consent, identifying distressed behaviours arising from traumatic stress, and supporting those with problematic sexualized behaviours.
Learning Goals
In this workshop you will learn to
identify the legalities of consent in the location you practice in.
accept that personal values of staff can differ from those of supported individuals.
recognize the impact of trauma on neurodivergent and disabled individuals who engage in problematic sexualized behaviours.
develop a protocol for supporting individuals who engage in problematic sexualized behaviours.
