Case Studies on Teaching Sexuality Education to Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of transition planning, adult service routines, vocational programming, and long-term support decisions. In Case Studies on Teaching Sexuality Education to Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, for this course, the practical stakes show up in skills that remain meaningful when school supports disappear and adult expectations change, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Sexuality education is a sensitive topic as the norms surrounding sexuality education differ across cultures. It is even more sensitive when providing education to people with disabilities as society may have misperceptions regarding sexuality for people with disabilities. The social communication deficits for people with ASD make sexuality education for this population even more complex. This presentation provides learners with real life case studies in which behavior analytic services were used in collaboration with others to help address individualized sexuality education for people with ASD. Ethical considerations for BCBAs and resources for teaching are also provided.
