Participants will examine how physical, sensory, and neurological disabilities may impact sexual activity, desire, and access to intimacy. The session will introduce a range of adaptive tools and equipment that can support comfort, communication, and sexual expression, while also building skills to collaboratively problem-solve sexual limitations with clients. Emphasis is placed on reducing stigma, honoring client autonomy, and expanding possibilities for sexual satisfaction and connection.

    interfere with sexual activity

    clients
  • Discuss and problem solve sexual limitations to improve client satisfaction with
