Sexuality & Intimacy
SESSION 2
Who Should Attend?
People with Disabilities ▪ Service Providers
How do I express my needs? How can I share my desires with my partner? What do I do next? So many people find it difficult to ask questions about sex or talk to their partner about it.... and this is especially true when you have a developmental disability.
This session answers some of those questions and more in an informative and matter-of-fact manner for those wanting information on sexuality, sensuality and intimacy. Note: This session will contain sexually explicit language, graphics, and instruction.
