  • The Role of Medical and Clinical Information in Special Education Evaluation and IEP Development

  • What, Wait! You Want Me to Talk About Sexuality?

    Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill. We will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality with people you work with.

    Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill for us all. We are seeing more and more examples of those who have crossed lines in our culture. Even though people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are sexual beings, just like everyone, they also need the information and skills to navigate these waters and learn what's okay and not okay in various settings.

    This webinar will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality one-on-one with the individuals you work with. We will explore why this topic can be difficult to approach and useful tools that will help you become more comfortable and confident and communicate about this sensitive topic.

    Learning Objectives:

    Discuss the benefits of providing sexuality education.

    Examine activities to teach healthy boundaries, such as different types of relationships, public vs. private, moving from friend to partner, body language, communication, and speaking up.

    When: Wednesday, Nov 12, 2025, from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EASTERN time (please note your time zone)

  • Support Group for Parents of Gender Diverse Adults & Teens (14+)

    Recurring

    This multi-session support group is designed for parents/family members of Autistic adults and teens with who are transgender or who are exploring or questioning their gender identity.

    Gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation or preference. Gender identity is one’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither–how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. Autistic individuals may be more likely to identify with a gender/s that is different than the sex assigned at birth. The intersection of these two identities is common, but not often talked about in the same space. When an adult child questions their gender identity parents are often initially overwhelmed by questions and concerns, and more questions may surface as their child continues on their journey. This is not a therapeutic support group.
