Sex Ed for Special Ed

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

People with disabilities are too often preyed upon because of socially constructed ideas of intelligence. It's assumed by many that people with disability don't have the capacity to learn sexual health education or give consent. But these stereotypes cause harm. I would like to educate young adults with disabilities about consent centered sex education so they can better understand their own bodily autonomy.

Shifting the Paradigm from Weight to Health

Aubrey Lyn Flores, School of Applied Health Undergraduate Student

College of Professional Studies

Current guidelines recommend that “overweight” and “obese” individuals lose weight through engaging in lifestyle modification involving diet, exercise, and other behavior change. This approach reliably induces weight cycling and weight stigma. Individuals deemed as obese are blamed for their weight, with common perceptions that weight stigmatization is justifiable and may motivate individuals to adopt healthier behaviors. Contrary to that belief, many individuals are unable to maintain weight loss long-term and do not achieve improved morbidity and mortality rates. The Health at Every Size (HAES) program encourages body acceptance, supports intuitive eating, and supports active embodiment.
