Service Description
[In Person] My Rights, My Life: Intimacy, Dating, and Healthy Relationships by Libby Banks, Eva Strelitz-Block, and Dhruva Athreya on Sunday afternoons, 2:00-4:00 pm CST from 10/25/26- 12/06/25 (Skipping 11/29 for Thanksgiving break), meeting in-person on UT campus Relationships are an important part of life, and everyone deserves the tools to find the right one. This six-week course will expose students to the ins and outs of dating and of progressing in healthy, meaningful relationships. We will dive into topics like understanding one’s own body, bodily autonomy, consent, and intimacy. More specifically, students will learn about anatomy, modes of intimacy, safety measures for dating (both in-person and online), and how to communicate personal boundaries. Activities will include role-playing consent-based discussions, identifying safe versus unsafe spaces for intimacy, and practicing safe habits for dating. Our goal is to empower students to pursue the relationships they may desire in a safe and fulfilling way.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
