Sex Talk for Self-Advocates Webinar #4: Relationship Experiences

By Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) | September 2, 2019

Sex Talk for Self-Advocates Webinar #4: Relationship Experiences. It is well documented meaningful relationships are connected to better health, social, and quality of life outcomes for all people, including people with disabilities. Relationships can help to create a greater sense of identity, self-worth, and belonging. Relationships are important, but they can look different for all of us. IN this webinar self-advocates talk about their experiences being married, dating, partnered, and single.

This webinar is part of an on-going series that addresses self-advocate questions about relationships and sexuality. This series is a great learning opportunity for self-advocates, and professionals and paraprofessionals working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to better understand relationships and sexuality.
