Do you know someone with a disability who struggles with understanding relationships and boundaries?
Lack of Knowledge
Individuals with I/DD often struggle with relating to others due to a lack of awareness of social boundaries and appropriate interactions.
At Risk
Individuals with I/DD are at much higher risk for sexual abuse and coercion. Concepts regarding assertiveness, self-protection and bodily autonomy are often missed in the school setting.
Building Connections
Education is the key for all individuals to lead healthy and happy lives. Promoting social autonomy and safe relationships through education can really make a difference in the lives of people with I/DD.
Our caregiver training provides you with 12 self-paced video modules (2 hours of material) which gives a broad overview of each type of relationship, the social boundaries for each type of relationship, and protective factors we teach our students to reduce the risk of sexual abuse.
