It was really cool to focus on one specific aspect of the disabled lives. It taught me a lot, and it was a really unique course.
I completed the entire course long back, but it shows I didn't complete the course.
Community Awareness Course: Sexuality and Disability
This community awareness course from the University of Minnesota Program on Human Sexuality will provide you with a solid introduction to human sexuality for those living with disabilities. Often there are assumptions that the disabled or differently abled people are not sexual, do not have sexual needs, or cannot be involved sexually. In this professionally produced one-hour course, you'll learn about the basics of disabilities and human sexuality. We'll then learn about three different conditions, Arthritis, Cerebral Palsy and Dwarfism, as examples of the sexuality related issues that people with these disabilities may face. In this course, you will 1) confront some of the societal myths and beliefs that are associated with sexuality and disability; 2) understand and foresee issues that may relate to fulfilling sexuality with regard to people with disabilities and the differently-abled; and 3) understand some of the physical barriers that people living with disabilities may need to deal with to be sexually active.

Reviewed Jul 23, 2025This course requires significant updating. He pronounces disability names wrong repeatedly (spina bifida hurts every time). No one says differently abled anymore. The entire class focuses on sexuality and disability from a medical model perspective. The disability community has been using a social model for quite some time now, and the focus on diagnosis is unnecessary and not best practice anymore. Many more salient points about disability and sexuality have nothing to do with diagnosis, and are more engaging and impactful to a broader range of people. He also defines orientation and identity terms incorrectly.

Reviewed Jul 3, 2025Course Content: Does the course provide valuable, comprehensive, and respectful information on sexuality and disability? Is the material well-researched and inclusive? Clarity and Accessibility: Was the course easy to follow? Were the learning materials accessible for people with various disabilities? Did it cater to diverse learning needs? Engagement: Did the course offer opportunities for interaction, discussion, or feedback? Was it engaging and thought-provoking? Impact: Did the course increase your awareness or change your perspective on the topic? Depending on how well it meets these criteria, you can rate it. For example, if the course was well-structured, inclusive, and informative, a higher rating would be appropriate (4 stars or 5 stars). If the course had gaps in content, was hard to follow, or felt inadequate, a lower rating might be justified.
