Relationships and Independent Living
More adults with disabilities are also living independently or with supervision in their communities. More agencies and services are also helping people with disabilities in certain areas,and more people with disabilities are getting married and having serious relationships. Sexual health and autonomy can be an important conversation for clinicians to have with patients who have these conditions. (Murphy et al. 2016)
