Summary
Diana was so amazed by a talk given by our special guests, Worner Leland and Barb Gross from Sex Ed Continuing Ed, that she emailed them immediately to join us on the show. We’re thankful that they agreed and spent an evening discussing the sexual wellbeing of individuals with developmental disabilities. We discuss the danger of seeing sexual behavior as problem behavior, review the ExPLISSIT model for addressing sexual wellbeing, and even get Rob to move beyond his classic New England Puritan viewpoints on “sex”.
