Abstract: Sexual stimulation is a primary reinforcer, yet the
discussion of human sexuality and sexual behavior is often overlooked
or is a source of discomfort for many. Sexual education is often
thought to be the burden of the school system, yet portions of
American sex education continue to utilize curricula containing
distorted information and basic scientific errors (U. S. House of
Representatives Committee on Government Reform, 2004). This lack of
affirming sex education has led to a population in which people of all
ages may have a deficit in their sexual health knowledge. Because of
this, their ability to consensually engage in informed sexual behavior
is negatively impacted. This workshop provides a sexual education
framework that centers consent, knowledge of the human body, sexual
safety, and reinforcement-centric sexuality conceptualization. This
workshop will equip attendees with scientifically accurate sexual
health information that is affirming of all individuals, and will
provide practice opportunities for conceptualizing and tailoring this
information in ways which may benefit populations they serve.
Empirically supported literature and data will be presented where
applicable and available, and audience questions and discussion will
be welcomed throughout the workshop. This workshop is intended for
BCBAs and BCaBAs, and other helping professionals are also welcome to
attend. Continuing Education: 4.0 units Type II BACB® CE Credit
