- Developmental Disabilities and Sexuality. Elevatus helps you have these essential conversations.
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.Episode Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UzLzd9D5XTRGNe6kj2rbxqD6Zwpbaxjb/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=117716030289987185197&rtpof=true&sd=true

For Parents. By Parents.
Raising Kellan Started in 2019. Most non-profits about children with a disability begin with a heart-rending story and the endless search on how to fix the disability.
The start of Raising Kellan wasn’t about that. You see, in June 2019, while visiting family in South Africa, Marsh Naidoo was asked to give a speech to health professionals at the Open Air School in Durban, and the feedback she received was unexpected. Sure, people were engaged. But, could she share her perspective as a physical therapist and mother of a child with cerebral palsy with other parents raising children with complex medical needs, as well?
Marsh was reluctant at the thought of sharing her experience, but she did.
She returned home and this burning thought became the blog and podcast that formed the bedrock of the non-profit organization, Raising Kellan. Since 2020, Raising Kellan has supported parents in the US, South Africa, and Europe on their journey, negotiating the uncharted territory of raising children with a disability.
Are you a parent bewildered by your child’s disability?
We are a community connected by a diagnosis, yet positively embracing our lives, and we want you to know, you’re not alone.
Raising Kellan was created by parents like you for parents like you.

Parent to Parent's Vision: Parent to Parent USA will support a network of viable, sustainable, fully-functioning, and effective Parent to Parent programs in all 50 states through hands-on support, training and technical assistance, and high-quality tools and resources. Our network’s parent leadership and engaged membership will serve as strong advocates, provide robust mentoring opportunities, and develop the working partnerships with funders, service providers, and others needed to sustain and grow the program nationwide.
Parent to Parent of the United States (Parent to Parent USA) was created in 2003 with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to ensure that families nationwide whose children have special needs have access to Parent to Parent support. Founders and affiliations: Nancy DiVenere, Parent to Parent of Vermont; Mary Slaughter, Raising Special Kids, AZ; Kathy Brill, Parent to Parent of PA; Connie Ginsberg, Family Connection of South Carolina.
Parent to Parent support – the matching of experienced, trained Support Parents with families seeking support has been proven effective in helping families cope with their day-to-day lives, connect with community resources and navigate the health care system. Parent to Parent USA has identified and connected all statewide Parent to Parent programs nationally, a first step toward forming an Alliance among all family support programs in the country that demonstrate the following:
- Parent to Parent support as a core organizational component
- Commitment to implement Parent to Parent USA – endorsed practices
Lily Brown has experienced firsthand the magic in the match of parent-to-parent support after her daughter was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition at age 3. As Co-Executive Director for Parent to Parent USA, she is dedicated to strengthening the Parent to Parent community so that no parent feels alone, ever. She leads the organization in the areas of development, program evaluation, volunteer engagement, and fiscal management. She draws on her entrepreneurial background to scale operations using a combination of talent and technology.

About ABCs of Disability Planning
From the publisher's feed
Frequently families like mine don't know what's available to help us, we're too focused on getting through our day-to-day. But even if we had time, we would need to know what to look for. It's my mission to introduce a new organization or individual serving those with disabilities every week.
