Webinar Description:
Understanding and possessing the ability to express one’s sexuality can be viewed as a basic human right, yet for many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), this is not a right afforded to them. Traditional relationship development and sex education curriculum is often inaccessible to individuals with ASD, indicating the need for more person-centered programming that considers the strengths and needs of each individual.
Learner Objectives:
After attending this webinar participants will be able to:
- Identify instructional targets related to sex education for individuals with ASD
- Identify specific teaching procedures relating sex education for individuals with ASD
- Identify potential IEP goals relating to sex education for individuals with ASD
