**This course will provide the participant with 2 General Learning Type BACB CEUs**
Description of Learning Type CE Event: In this, the Digital Age, we have found ourselves at the mercy of technology, it often seems to parents, guardians and caregivers…and even to Behavior Analysts. What do we do to keep minors and/or adults with ID safe when the world is one click away, and circa half the information is false, the people are technically strangers with their own agendas, and porn is seemingly everywhere? Also, how do we promote critical thinking toward safety without enforcing heteronormative or other value-based standards upon adult humans with ID who wish to engage in sociosexual and sexual behaviors online, allowing them the same rights as their neurotypical peers? What is and is not appropriate? Is that even answerable?! Oh my…if this is what your brain does when you start thinking about this subject, you might want to attend! This 2 hour course covers current normed trends and also the okay-ness of deviance from norms, how to address porn use by minors, and ways of addressing sexting and catfishing.
