Sexuality Reborn: Spinal cord injury causes a number of changes in sexual
functioning. Despite these changes, SCI individuals can participate in and enjoy
an active and fulfilling sex life. In this video, Sexuality Reborn, which was
funded by the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the physical and emotional effects
of spinal cord injury are frankly discussed by four couples. These couples
demonstrate and share their personal experiences concerning: self-esteem,
dating, bowel and bladder function, sexual response and varying types of sexual
activities. This video is 48 minutes in
length and is an educational tool produced by Kessler Institute for
Rehabilitation in West Orange, New Jersey. This video is for people with spinal
cord injured and other individuals with physical disabilities. It can be viewed
by individuals, their partners or as part of a sexuality education session in
rehabilitation.

Disability and Motherhood:
Many women with disabilities who have children find that they face deep-seated
prejudice that takes no account of their competence to assume parental
responsibility, but assumes instead that their children will be raised
improperly or abnormally. Lydia Thomas, a television presenter, wheelchair user,
and mother, thinks that while there are still difficulties, attitudes have
changed substantially since she was a child. Cathy Rafferty, who has cerebral
palsy, discovered that when she fainted during pregnancy, an ER nurse rudely
questioned why her doctor "let her get in this condition." Ellen Blackman, who
is blind, felt that other mothers in the maternity hospital watched "this woman
with the big bump and the white stick" and felt the need for a private room so
she could learn to care for her baby away from the intrusive gaze of others. The
program examines the experiences of these three mothers with disabilities, as
well as public attitudes toward the combination. (25 minutes, color) Item:
