Sexual Behavior Analysis

Title of Event: Sexual Behavior Analysis

Description of Event:

What challenges have autistic and neurodivergent people dealt with when it comes to their sexual selves, and how have clinicians been trained to work with these? How have methods used in the past been obstructive, difficult, or even dehumanizing, and what are some ways we can change this?

Sexual Behavior Analysis (SBA) is an evidence-based and humanistic approach in which empirically-sound best practices from Sex Therapy, Sexuality Education, and Couple's Work are combined and presented within the simple, effective, and practical framework of Behavior Analysis (BA). The instructor is trained in each of these fields and licensed as an LBA. Nicholas Maio-Aether developed a method called Sexual Behavior Analysis to help clinicians who work with neurodivergent and autistic people with issues specifically relating to human sexuality.

Nicholas will take you through the ideas involved and help you to reimagine the approaches that you can take to make a more humane and effective difference with your clients.
