The Ethics of Touch:
Establishing and Maintaining Appropriate Boundaries In Service to
People with Developmental Disabilities. Dave Hingsburger
& Mary Harber, $116.95
DVD
All human beings need touch. We need to be held. We need to hold.
This training package looks at the delicate issue of touch. Those
who provide direct care to people with developmental disabilities
are often asked to be in private places performing intimate services.
From bathing to toileting to dressing, we are necessarily in close
proximity to those we serve. Given this situation, it is imperative
that staff be aware of how to provide these services while maintaining
appropriate professional boundaries. How do we appropriately express
affection toward those we serve? This video suggests new and healthy
ways of helping people with disabilities fulfill their deepest needs.
The package includes over two hours of lecture on 'touch', 'privacy'
and 'boundaries' by renowned trainer Dave Hingsburger and a manual,
co-authored by Mary Harber of the Sexual Health Resource Network,
which staff can use to participate in the training. |
