Across the Lifespan
Presented by Dr. Jan Graetz, PhD
Thursday, November 13, 2014
6:00 - 7:30 pm
Oakland (Heritage) Room, Oakland Center
Individuals with ASD may face challenges throughout their lives related to understanding their bodies, physical urges, and sexuality. From young children’s issues such as discovering their anatomy to puberty and beyond, families often have questions. How can you explain appropriate vs. inappropriate behaviors? How do you explain dating and relationships? How can you help your loved one maintain their dignity when it comes to issues of sexuality? Dr. Jan Graetz, Associate Professor in the School of Education at Oakland University, will discuss these topics and more and offer strategies that may help you address these issues with your loved one with ASD.
This event is designed for educators, social workers, parents, caregivers, and anyone interested
in learning how to address the issues of sexuality and ASD.
