Join us for a conversation with Dani Bowman (she/her) (cast member from Love on the Spectrum), and other incredible panelists focusing on positive sexuality models and resources for thriving relationships. This discussion will be centered on the experiences of Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) diagnoses. We will discuss how individuals and their families, educators, and medical providers can work together to build thriving relationships.  

Learning Objectives

  • Participants will learn best practices for working with patients with I/DD diagnoses  

  • Participants will be able to identify red flags for abuse when working with individuals with I/DD.
