A person with an intellectual disability, like any other person, is a sexual being. However, this is often not acknowledged or supported by families, support workers and even the broader community.
The result is that for many people with disabilities, their opportunities to form or maintain sexual relationships are limited.
Jonathan Bredin or Jono, is a young man who is non-verbal, has cerebral palsy but does not have an intellectual disability. That said, much of what he says in this episode will feel relevant to others who do have an intellectual disability.
In this episode he talks to us about the challenges people with disability can face in developing sexual relationships and of the importance of NDIS funding for sexual pleasure. He talks candidly about the particular limitations in group home environments and when you are reliant on support workers to facilitate your sexual relationships.
