Programs for individuals with disabilities and their support person

We know that there are many barriers for people of all ages with I/DD when it comes to accessing the quality relationship and sexual health education they need and deserve. The most glaring being that relationship and sexual health education in Ohio is severely lacking, especially for people without disabilities.  In addition, relationship and sexual health education often stops once people are no longer school-aged. The American College and Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that “comprehensive sexuality education should begin in early childhood and continue through a person’s lifespan.” At Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio, we have been providing direct education and training services for people with I/DD and their families and support systems since 2017.
