Title: Supporting Sexual Wellbeing Beyond Behaviour Reduction: Preference, Safety and Dignified Access
Summary: This session focuses on supporting Autistic people and people with Learning Disabilities, where sexual behaviour may be understood as pleasure seeking, self-stimulatory, or connected to unmet sexual wellbeing needs. The session will explore how practitioners can move beyond behaviour reduction and risk-only responses, towards support that considers dignity, privacy, capacity, consent, communication, safety, preference and quality of life.
Participants will be encouraged to think critically about broad behavioural explanations such as “automatic reinforcement” or “sensory-maintained behaviour”, and consider how more nuanced understanding of the person’s need may lead to safer, more respectful and better-matched support. The session will introduce a practical approach to help behaviour analysts and PBS practitioners move from “how do we stop this?” to “what does this person need to access sexual wellbeing safely, privately and with dignity?” It aims to support ethical, person-centred and rights-informed practice in an area that is often avoided, misunderstood or restricted.
Session 4: Thursday 19th November 2026, 2:00pm-17:00pm
3 Learning APD/CEU
Speaker: Jeredith Lord
Title: Behaviour, Trauma, and Safety: Applying ABA in Domestic Violence Contexts
Summary: Where does behaviour analysis contribute to domestic violence prevention and intervention? Furthermore, how can practitioners ensure that their work remains ethical, trauma-informed, and survivor-centred?
This interactive workshop explores the intersection of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and domestic violence, with a focus on coercive control, trauma, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Participants will examine how behavioral principles can illuminate patterns within abusive relationships while avoiding interventions that may unintentionally replicate coercive dynamics.
Designed for behaviour analysts and helping professionals alike, this session includes case discussions, audience engagement activities, and practical strategies for integrating safety, autonomy, and cultural responsiveness into practice.
Join us as we explore both the possibilities and limitations of behavior analysis in one of the most complex areas of human service work.
