Disability, sex education, and the speech pathologist- what's our role? S06 E31

  • Summary

  • In this week’s episode we speak with Kardie Whelan (she/her), from Sexual Health Victoria about the role of a speech pathologist in supporting our disabled clients to access sex education from a communication access lens. Kardie speaks about how to prepare for questions that might make us feel uncomfortable, and what resources exist. Please note there is a brief discussion about sexual abuse and assault at 28:19, please skip ahead to 31:56, if that is safest for you.
