• Puberty: Disability and Sexuality: All people are sexual beings, no matter what their bodies can or cannot do physically or what type of support they may need from time to time or all of the time. It’s important for young people living with disabilities to learn about sexuality. They have the same hormones and sexual needs and desires as other people, and they can have different sexual orientations (heterosexual, bisexual, gay, asexual, etc.) and gender identities (transgender, cisgender, gender nonconforming, etc.). Young people with disabilities want the same thing everyone else wants in a relationship—respect, consent, communication and fun, which is why people regardless of their abilities need to learn about expressing romantic interest in a partner, healthy relationships, dealing with rejection and sexual health. If you are a young person with a disability, sex education can help you learn about communicating interest in a partner and healthy relationships as well as any specific concerns about what you can or cannot do in sexual situations. Talk to a parent, guardian, health care provider or other trusted adult about how you can get the sex education you need.

• Deaf Learners: Designing Practice to Support Their Learner Variability Using a Whole Child Framework: This webinar discuss the extreme amount of variability among deaf learners- not only in their communication preferences, but also in their language development and learning needs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for deaf students, so it is supremely important to pay attention to the specific needs of each deaf student. We will provide resources and strategies for families and educators to utilize, to best meet the needs of the students they serve. The link will take you to the Webinar on youtube and here is the link for the PPT.
