Social-Sexual Supports, the unspoken need of love, sex, and relationships for people with disabilities


We will talk about what social-sexual supports are, the bias and stigmas around people with disabilities face when wanting to talk about relationships, sex, sexuality, gender and so much more. We talk about solutions to address these stigmas and what solutions self-advocates are hoping for to improve this piece of supports and services.
