Panelist Discussion Questions:
1. What are the key similarities and differences between delivering sex education for neurotypical youth versus youth with a cognitive or developmental disability?
2. How might we better prepare persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities to address their increased exposure to risks for sexual and other violence?
3. How can consent in relationships be made clear and accessible for people with cognitive and developmental disabilities?
4. Why is it important to define privacy versus public behaviors?
5. How can people with intellectual disabilities be supported in communicating about boundaries and desires in various types of personal relationships, including in dating relationships?
6. How can a person’s support system help them balance their dignity of risk versus their safety? Dignity of risk: neurotypical people are given the opportunity to gauge risks and make mistakes whereas people with IDD are often overly protected from risk.
