Project description<br />

“Adolescent Sexuality Education: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt Them” will replace<br />

“Rights, Respect, and Responsibility: Sexuality Education for Deaf and Hard <strong>of</strong> Hearing Students”<br />

and will provide participants with real strategies for discussing the <strong>of</strong>ten uncomfortable issues <strong>of</strong><br />

human sexuality with deaf and hard <strong>of</strong> hearing adolescents in a way that fosters open<br />

communication, mutual respect, and responsibility. Participants learn how to address issues <strong>of</strong><br />

human sexuality from an unbiased, informative perspective while also learning how to identify when<br />

deaf and hard <strong>of</strong> hearing teenagers are exploring their sexuality and what to do to support and guide<br />

them in this process.<br />
