What does “consent” mean for people with IDD? How can staff
support someone to get ready to take the assessment? Who can/should do
the assessment? What exactly is assessed? These questions and many
more will be answered in this seminar.
Everyone has the need to love and be loved. People with intellectual
and developmental disabilities (IDD) historically have been seen as
either asexual or sexual deviants. Like many adults, people with IDD
have the desire to have fulfilling sexual lives. The penal laws in
many states require that sexual activity needs to be consenting by the
parties involved. This seminar will explore the consent assessment
created and used by YAI. It will be accompanied by the DVD “Sexually
Speaking - A Video About Sexual Consent: What You Need to Know.”
Attendees will understand the two types of consents needed, know what
questions to ask, practice facilitating interviewing sessions and
learn how to use YAI’s DVD to provide training for people who are
interested in becoming sexually consenting. All actors (apart from
abuse scenes) in the DVD used are people with disabilities.
All attendees will receive a copy of YAI’s Sexuality Consent Tool.
The DVD will be available for purchase at the training at a discounted
price.
Attendees will learn how to:
• Conduct sexual consent assessments
• Provide education to prepare people interested and eligible to
become sexually consenting
• Provide continued support to people with disabilities with living
fulfilling sexual lives
