As someone who mostly hasn’t worked with this population, it was really helpful hearing examples of real life situations and hearing the messages that self-advocates want other folks to hear. I learned so much about best practices, arguments for teaching sex-ed to people with I/DD, and common barriers to sexual autonomy for this population.
