My book 'Supporting Disabled People with their Sexual Lives', published by Jesical Kingsley gives you a good understanding about the both of physically and socially disabled adults can enjoy friendship, peer support and sexual pleasure and relationships.
Professpr Claire de Than has written a chapter on the law. Most importanly, she tells us that it is illegal not to support disabled people to enjoy the same pleasures as other people enjoy in the privacy of their own homes (Equality Act 2010 and Human Rights Act 1998).
Sadly, it seems the book is mostly bought by disabled people rather than the people who should be supporting them - health and social care ptofesionals and academics who think they know best.
I hope this blog puts the professionals to shame and encouraged them to read the book!
