DESCRIPTION
OF
SESSIONS
“PRIDE”
A new workshop by Dave about pride, selfacceptance, and associating with peers. Why is
pride important to healthy relationships and abuse
prevention? What can parents and professionals do
to support pride? What do we do that undermines
pride? This workshop challenges some of the
present orthodoxy regarding disability and
incorporates the growing sense of “disability pride”
with-in the disability movement.

“WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO CHALLENGE US”
Dave will address tough questions that service
providers have about people with behavioral
problems, communication difficulties, cognitive and
physical limitations, inappropriate or offending
sexual behavior, and/or drug and alcohol abuse.
In relation to these consumers, Dave will discuss:

Developing Circles of Support

Staff Boundaries

Sexuality vs. Intimacy

Working with Police

Teaching the Community
“EXPLORING ATTITUDES ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS
AND SEXUALITY”
This session explores, advises, and addresses
staff/parent fears, and resistance to social/sexual
education.
TEACHING PRIVACY & CONSENT
Privacy & consent (both giving & withholding) are
key to safe and healthy relationships. How do we
assess and teach these skills?
WHAT & WHEN TO TEACH CHILDREN & TEENS
Dave will outline key topics for children to learn,
and how to address developmental vs.
chronological differences.
IDEAS FOR SCHOOL-BASED EDUCATION
Overcoming resistance from schools. What is best
taught in school vs. at home? Are there good school
models?
