Cal State San Bernardino faculty members Jamie O'Quinn and Jessica Nerren are leading a research study aimed at addressing gaps in sexuality education for neurodivergent adults, a population whose educational needs have often been overlooked. Through a collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming approach, the researchers seek to better understand the needs and experiences of neurodivergent individuals and develop more inclusive educational practices and resources.

As part of the study, researchers are offering a free series of sexuality education workshops throughout the 2026-27 academic year. The study reflects CSUSB's commitment to meaningful, community-centered scholarship that engages underserved populations in creating knowledge and developing solutions that address their needs. The remaining sessions will take place on Wednesdays, Nov. 18, Feb. 3, March 3, March 24 and April 21, from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building, room 514.

Participation is voluntary and open to current CSUSB students ages 18 and older, regardless of whether they identify as neurodivergent. Students may join at any time and are not required to attend every session or remain for the full session. For more information, contact O'Quinn at jamie.oquinn@csusb.edu.
