Talking about sexuality with your loved ones with disabilities can be difficult. As parents and family members, we often worry whether they can be safe from harm in relationships. This workshop from Elevatus Training, LLC will help you become more comfortable and prepared for these conversations. Topics include:

  • What is Sexual Health?
  • Barriers to Communicating
  • Human Sexual Development
  • Tips for Talking

This training is free, provided virtually, and features small and large group discussions. Registration is required.

Sessions are capped at 40 participants. Automatic closed captioning and image descriptions will be provided. Contact Temple University via email to request additional access needs or questions.

This workshop is hosted and facilitated by the Healthy Sexuality Project at the Institute on Disabilities. This workshop is written and designed by Elevatus Training, LLC. The Healthy Sexuality Project is a program of the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) and the IM4Q technical advisors at the Institute on Disabilities (IOD) at Temple University have begun connecting and working with provider associations to increase provider agencies’ knowledge of IM4Q and their collaboration in order to improve the lives of Pennsylvania residents within the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) service system. To promote these efforts, provider input is crucial in determining the information and activities needed to accomplish this.

You are invited to complete an online survey to provide feedback!

Please complete one (1) survey per organization and submit responses by Friday, July 11, 2025. Your participation should take less than fifteen minutes, and your response will provide important information to enhance the IM4Q process and strengthen ODP’s overall Quality Management structure.

If you have questions, please contact Lee Stephens via email.
