Consent Part I; Define, Practice & Model

“I think topics such as this one are very important for DSPs to learn and explore due to the lack of attention that is given to human sexuality when developing supports for others. I was very excited to see this as an option for a session to attend.”
— Washington State DDA Region 2 participant
