S5: Episode 4: Amy J Machado, MA, BCBA- SEEDS (Self esteem education and development in sexuality) Therapy Center
SEEDS Teaches everything under the social / sexual umbrella. Much needed education for individuals, parents, caregivers and educators. Amy has worked with individuals with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities for over 20 years in home, school, community, and clinical settings. Amy has extensive experience working directly with individuals with disabilities of all ages and has spent the latter part of her career creating innovative programs to assist young adults with the transition into adulthood. Amy has authored the Rooted In Connection curricula that teaches comprehensive sex education with an emphasis on relationships, social boundaries, assertiveness, and abuse prevention for individuals with disabilities of all ages (Youth through Adult). Amy's drive to reduce sexual exploitation stems from her direct work with countless individuals and families who have shared their personal stories of exposure, assault and sexual abuse. Thank you Amy!
