Certifications/Memberships Fellow, The American Academy of Clinical Sexologists Board Certified Clinical Sexologist (American Board of Sexology) Specialties: Working on social/sexual issues with people who have developmental disability. Determining the ability to consent to sexual relations for those with mental disorders. |
| I have devoted over 22 years to working with people with developmental disabilities in regard to their social/sexual rights and education. Due to their varying degrees of cognitive limitations, I have had to create multi-sensory methods that are utilized when teaching them responsible behavior. I have incorporated drama therapy techniques when conducting group therapy because action oriented methods are more readily learned by people with developmental disabilities. | Major
