                Quotes
 "Historically, 
                  people with disabilities received little information on sexuality 
                  and were often regarded as non-sexual and incapable of an intimate 
                  relationship."Dr. Stanley Ducharme
 "The 
                  individual must mourn losses and develop coping strategies that 
                  will validate the meaningfulness of post injury life."Dr. Stanley Ducharme
 "Unfortunately, 
                  embarrassment often keeps people from seeking help about personal 
                  issues. Sexual problems tend to be long lasting and difficult 
                  to resolve on one’s own. Many times, talking to a professional 
                  about these matters can be a tremendous relief and the first 
                  step in finding a solution. . ."Dr. Stanley Ducharme
 
 
 
			  Hi Dr. Ducharme;
                My name is Julie and I recently found your website. I was very impressed to see that your site even mentioned the words sex and disability in the same sentence. You don't know how hard it is to find information on this issue. I am a 46 year old woman with cerebral palsy. I have been married before and have 3 children. The reason I went to your page was that I am divorced and in a relationship with a man who has a lack of sexual desire. I was trying to find solutions to this problem. You have a lot of good information on your web page. I just want to thank you for the articles you wrote and to tell you that there is a person who appreciates it. Thanks again.
