Ideas at Play: An Occupational Therapy (OT) Podcast

Ep. 42 Sexual Education and OT's Role


Listen Later

Sex is an occupation, but how do we (or should we) address this in pediatric OT practice? This episode discusses why avoiding this topic is an occupational injustice and what we can do about it. We talk about the research and cover everything from sensory considerations in relationships to teaching boundaries and safety. If you work with adolescents or young adults, this episode will give you the framework, practical tools, and confidence to start supporting clients and caregivers in this critical—and often overlooked—area of daily life.

We share our own thoughts in the Research Review and encourage you to read the original article too.
