Sexuality Issues
Much as we’d like, we can’t ignore it: social-sexual relationships do develop between people with developmental disabilities. Come and learn from Bobra Fyne, assistant coordinator of sex education at YAI, how to educate people with developmental disabilities about social-sexual relationships. This is an opportunity none of us can afford to miss!
