OUR NEXT WEBINAR

 

YES IT IS TIME! TIPS FOR ADDRESSING YOUR CHILD'S SEXUALITY

 with Randy Young

Thursday, February 5

7-9 PM ET via Zoom

​

 

Do you feel that people with Down syndrome are often left out of the conversation about sexuality? Our loved ones with Down syndrome are sexual beings that need information and skills for making healthy decisions about sexuality. 

​

Join Randy Young for this introductory workshop adapted with materials developed by Elevatus that will help you become more comfortable talking about this sensitive topic. Also, learn about STEPS2, a CUNY School of Public Health study offering free health education classes for young adults (ages 16-27) and working to evaluate and improve health education for people with I/DD.

If you reside in NYS and have a TABS number through the Office of Persons with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), and are not yet receiving self-directed services, please consider sharing your TABS number or child's name/date of birth where indicated on the registration form. This is not required to attend the workshops but helps DSAF maintain funding to continue servicing families in need.
