Join us for a fun and unique way to learn about sexuality that provides educational opportunities for both adults with a developmental disability and the staff who support them. We understand that some people may need one to one support and others may not. We expect at least one agency support staff per person, or per group of people that register. This workshop is not appropriate for individuals who are known sex offenders. All participants must be 18 years of age or older.
