In this episode, you’ll hear from the amazing Katherine McLaughlin, a sexuality educator focused on the disabilities community. Katherine and host Christine Koh talk about how it’s crucial for parents to be open and honest in teaching young people about their bodies, sexuality, and self-advocacy, what it was like for Katherine to advise on the AMAZE Disability + Sexuality video, and more.

Become An Askable Parent is a podcast from AMAZE.org. AMAZE creates free educational videos + resources to help families talk openly, honestly, and less awkwardly about sex, health, relationships + growing up. The goal of the podcast is to help parents learn how to communicate better (even when they don’t have all the answers!) so their kids know that they can ask them anything.
