Impact: Feature Issue on Sexuality and Gender Identity for People with Intellectual, Developmental, and Other Disabilities

Description

This issue in the Impact series addresses current roadblocks preventing people with intellectual, development, and other disabilities from living self-determined lives when it comes to their sexuality and gender identity. Articles discuss the history of abuses related to reproductive rights and gender rights, the need for more training for caregivers to support people with disabilities in this area of their lives, and promising programs helping people with disabilities express their wants and needs around intimate relationships.
