This is the second session in TASH Training’s five-part Fall 2014 series, Sexuality, Education and Support for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
When
4:00-5:00 PM Eastern, Thursday, 9 October 2014
About this presentation
Western Carolina University’s University Participant Program facilitates inclusive college experiences for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In the university community, students are exposed to romantic relationships. Many students are in relationships or wish to be in one. This presentation describes how students informally and formally communicated their sexual health needs through behaviors and a program-designed questionnaire. Students used a sexual health ‘menu’ and a list of pedagogical preferences to co-design a sexual health education program called “All About Life.” Student feedback and lessons learned about collaborative sexual education programming are shared.
Learning objectives
At the end of this presentation participants will be able to:
- Implement methods for identifying student self-reported sexual health needs.
- Incorporate the benefits of collaborating with students with disabilities in the development of sexual health programming.
Audience
Individuals with disabilities, educators, postsecondary education facilitators, advocates, parents, researchers, and community health workers.
