Healthy Understanding of Our Bodies (HUB)
Youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities don’t always have access to sexual health education. With so many topics to cover, it can feel overwhelming for youth, caregivers and professionals to decide where to go for information. In this resource hub, you will find a collection of videos, learning tools, and webpages to help youth with disabilities and their support networks build a strong foundation for sexual health. You will also find information about national organizations that offer curriculums, trainings, and other resources.
Pregnancy and Parenting Support for People with Disabilities
The Pregnancy and Parenting Support project—a collaboration between Ability360, Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association, March of Dimes, Raising Special Kids, and the University of Arizona Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities—aims to gain information about the needs, preferences, and experiences of individuals with a disability in their decision-making, health care, and support to become pregnant and parent a child. This needs assessment study is being conducted by a workgroup of organizational representatives who are exploring the current status and identified issues that can be responded to through resource sharing, training, and grant development following feedback from participants.
