Sex on Wheels

Watch Gary Karp give a talk on the impact of traumatic change on sexuality and intimate activity.

Karp is an internationally recognized public speaker and author. He has been living, fully, with a T12 spinal cord injury since 1973 when he was injured in a fall from a tree at the age of eighteen.

For his unique and extensive contributions to disability awareness, in 2007 Gary was inducted into the Spinal Cord Injury Hall of Fame as a disability educator. A very highly-regarded speaker, Gary represents the Christopher & Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center while speaking in rehabilitation settings and to university students of physical and occupational therapy.

This video is part of a talk that he gave at the 2008 Abilities Expo in Minneapolis.
