Today, I'm interviewing Katherine McLaughlin, CEO and Lead Trainer of Elevatus Training.

Katherine is certified as a sexuality educator by AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) and is the Founder of Disability Workshops, now Elevatus Training. She is the author of Sexuality Education for People with Developmental Disabilities Curriculum and also develops educational materials for others to use in teaching and communicating.

As national leaders in the field of sexuality and intellectual, developmental disabilities and autism we offer evidence and trauma informed curriculum, online training, in-services and workshops to help professionals, educators, self-advocates and parents skillfully and confidently navigate the topic of sexuality.

In today's conversation, we discuss:

• How her work in sexuality education for people with disabilities has evolved over the years
• Advocating for legislation for sexuality education for people with disabilities
• The curriculum Elevatus Training uses for sexuality education for people with disabilities
• The challenges of people with disabilities in dating
