Reproductive Healthcare for Women with Disabilities: Free, Web-Based Program for Clinicians

Among the topics are: Scope of Disability, Sexuality, Psychosocial Issues, The GYN Exam and Screenings, Contraception and AUB, Pregnancy and Parenting, Diet/Exercise/Weight, Adolescent Considerations, Aging and Osteoporosis, Specific Disabilities, Developmental Disabilities, Sensory Impairments, ADA Requirements, Disability Culture, Office and Practice Solutions, and Resources.
