87. Developmental Disabilities and Sexuality 101 (PM Virtual)

Program: Educational Services

Location: Virtual (PA, PA)

Audience: Teachers, Counselors, Therapists, Paraprofessionals, Administrators, and others working regularly with individuals with IDD.

Dates: 11/18/2025

This training is for staff interacting with individuals with disabilities in hopes of preventing future sexual abuse. People with developmental disabilities are often left out of the conversation about sexuality, almost as if they are incapable of having thoughts, feelings, and needs. In reality, they, too, are sexual beings who 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 they may approach with questions about sexuality. This training will help professionals become more comfortable talking about this sensitive topic by discussing what needs to be taught when. It will also review how to help people with developmental disabilities have safe and satisfying relationships. Headphones and a private space are recommended for these virtual sessions. Registered participants will receive a Zoom link emailed before the start of each session.
