*Registration payment includes Credit Cards and Interfund Transfers ONLY.

Target Audience

Social workers, psychologists, licensed professional counselors, educators, school personnel, mental health professionals, clinicians, health and human service practitioners, and other health care professionals.

Description

Historically, individuals with disabilities have routinely been denied the right to bodily autonomy, to express their sexuality, and to access education about their bodies and sexual health. While federal laws are in existence to promote access to sexual health education and services, many disabled individuals still face barriers to obtaining this sometimes lifesaving information. This presentation will discuss how social workers can begin to remove these barriers and help promote access to sexual and reproductive healthcare and health education for individuals with disabilities.
