Sexuality resources for direct care supporters of adult individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
The Positive Practice Committee has successfully completed a sexuality resource guide specific to adult individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This compilation was developed to help direct care supporters focus on positive outlooks regarding sexuality for this unique population. The resources can be used alone or in combination to meet the specific needs and interests of these individuals.
