Three-Day *Certificate Training: Become a Sexuality Educator and Trainer

For anyone who works with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and wants to lead sexuality education classes, staff training, or parent workshops.

Increase Your Skill and Comfort Level When Addressing Sexuality With People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

When it comes to talking about sexuality, people with disabilities are often excluded, almost as if they are incapable of having sexual thoughts, feelings, and needs. In reality, they too are sexual beings who need the information and skills for making healthy decisions about sexuality.

Though agencies and schools that work with people with I/DD know that sexuality issues need to be addressed, they don’t necessarily feel comfortable or competent enough to do so. This training will give you the curriculum, tools, and skills to teach sexuality education classes and lead staff/parent training.

This 3-day *certificate training is for anyone who works with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and wants to lead sexuality education classes, staff training, or parent workshops.

As a result of this training, you will be able to:

Describe how to help people with disabilities become sexual self-advocates.

Identify your own values and attitudes and how those impact your ability and effectiveness in teaching this topic.

Explain what makes it difficult for staff and parents to talk about sexuality with consumers and discuss solutions to those barriers.

List ways to teach this topic with other agency staff, parents, and people with disabilities.

Demonstrate effective training techniques to use with staff, parents, and people with disabilities

Don’t miss this opportunity to get the training and support you need to make a difference in the lives of people with I/DD.

* Participants will receive a certificate of attendance, or – if they pass an assessment following the training – a certificate of completion. This is an ABC training (assessment-based certificate). This certificate does not make them a certified sexuality educator and trainer, but they can still teach sexuality classes.
