2025 InterHab Live Courses: Supporting People with IDD to Become Sexual Self Advocates
2025-01-14 10:00 - 11:30
About the Course:
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 and learning ways to stay safe as they navigate relationships. One of these skills is the ability to be a sexual self-advocate.
About the Presenter:
Katherine McLaughlin, M.Ed., AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator, is the Founder, CEO, and Lead Trainer for Elevatus Training. She has been a sexuality educator and trainer for over 25 years. As a national expert on sexuality and intellectual and developmental disabilities, she trains professionals and parents, as well as people with IDD, to become sexual self-advocates and peer sexuality educators.
