Research has shown that people with developmental disabilities can have unique challenges when it comes to creating healthy relationships, boundaries, and exploring sexuality. We also know that people with developmental disabilities are at an increased risk to experience sexual assault (PHAC, 2011). In this workshop, participants will define sexuality in a broad context, explore their own attitudes about sexuality and receive practical suggestions for engaging clients in conversations about their sexual health and wellbeing. This workshop will also help professionals to set boundaries around what is appropriate behavior, clarify age of consent guidelines and make referrals to community resources.
