3 Sexuality Education for People with Autism Spectrum Disorders Thursday, December 3 rd :30pm to 3:00pm Overview: Learning how to build social relationships, beginning with friendships and leading to intimate relationships, is a key developmental stage for young adults. For children with ASD, sexuality education is even more critical as social interaction and communication are core deficits (APA, 2000). Further impacting development in the area of sexuality education is that young people with ASD have fewer opportunities to learn from their peer groups. And let s face it- much of the information we learn about sexuality comes from our peers. Without being taught specific skills related to developing appropriate relationships, children with ASD may approach others in an inappropriate physical or verbal manner and misread subtle social cues or body language in others. Sexual development and curiosity is normal. Children with ASD deserve to understand intimate relationships and develop the skills necessary to engage in such relationships so they can become fully self- determined (Travers et al, 2014). The focus of this presentation is to build a rationale for the need for individualize sexuality education, discuss collaboration to meet the needs of children with ASD in terms of sexuality education, and present easy to use strategies to teach sexuality. The learning objectives for this session are: 1. Understand the research in Sexuality Education for People with ASD. 2. Understand the need for sexuality education across the Lifespan. 3. Develop collaboration strategies to use when teaching sexuality 4. Identify appropriate curricula for teaching sexuality. 5. Understand interventions for teaching sexuality.

6 What Works and What Doesn t in Sex Offender Treatment: The Principles of Effective Intervention 9:00am to 10:30am Overview: During the past two decades, numerous state, national, and international groups have developed "best practice" standards against which providers and others can evaluate their programs. This workshop will examine characteristics of effective sex offender treatment programs and noteworthy evaluation criteria being used by program standards groups in North America and abroad. Relevant research will be reviewed with a focus on how treatment providers and supervision staff can use these findings in their day- to- day work. Robert McGrath M.A. is in private practice and has over 30 years of clinical, consulting, and research experience in the field of sexual aggression. Bob was Clinical Director of the Vermont Department of Corrections integrated network of prison and community sex offender treatment programs from 1996 to 2015 Alcohol and sexual assault: The impairing effects of intoxication on bystander s ability to intervene 11:00am to 12:00pm Overview: Alcohol may be involved in more than half of all sexual assaults reported on college campuses. The majority of college sexual assaults also occur near or in the presence of a third party or bystander who could have the potential to intervene. However, the specific mechanisms by which alcohol contributes to risk for sexual assault is not well known. Alcohol intoxication may impair bystanders ability to appropriately intervene by affecting their ability to interpret a situation and decide how to effectively respond. Research addressing the effects of intoxication on risk for sexual assault will be reviewed, including results from a recent field- based study of the effects of intoxication on student s ability to interpret risky situations, focusing on the impairing effects of alcohol on potential bystanders in a naturalistic setting. Future directions for further understanding the effects of alcohol and integrating empirical results into prevention and treatment efforts will also be discussed.

Bob was Clinical Director of the Vermont Department of Corrections integrated network of prison and community sex offender treatment programs from 1996 to 2015 Should We Allow Sexual Abusers to Have Contact with Children? Conducting Risk of Sexual Abuse of Children (ROSAC) Assessments Friday, December 4 th :00pm to 4:30pm Child protective services, mental health, and corrections professionals are commonly asked to assess the risk an adult male sexual abuser poses to a particular child and under what circumstances, if any, the abuser might safely be allowed contact with the child. The Risk of Sexual Abuse of Children (ROSAC) is a 30- item a Structured Professional Judgment tool for conducting these types of risk of sexual harm assessments. The theory and research basis for the ROSAC will be reviewed briefly.
