Developmental Disabilities and Sexuality. Elevatus helps you have these essential conversations. As national leaders in the field of sexuality and intellectual, developmental disabilities, and autism they 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.
When it comes to talking about sexuality, people with disabilities are often excluded; almost as if they’re incapable of having sexual thoughts, feelings, and needs. In reality, they too are sexual beings who need the information and skills for making healthy decisions about sexuality. Though agencies who work with people with developmental disabilities know that sexuality issues need to be addressed, they often don’t feel comfortable or competent enough to do so. This training will give you the curriculum, tools, and skills you need to teach sex education classes and lead staff/parent training.
Katherine McLaughlin has 25 years of experience as an educator and trainer with a specialty in sexuality and developmental disability. She's also a member of the disability community and understands both personally and professionally the issues people with disabilities face. She named the company to represent her mission – to elevate us all – especially people with disabilities.
