If you're struggling to start that conversation, look no further: Jeanne Hoffman, PhD, ABPP and Rosemary Buchmeier, RN give an overview of exactly what sexuality is and why it can be so difficult to discuss. They debunk myths about sexuality and disability, outline common barriers to fulfilling sex lives, provide tips for rediscovering your sexuality and fostering communication about sex with partners, potential partners, and health care providers.
