I'm writing a paper about legalizing providers' services in the United States.  I'm interested in learning about the experiences providers have had with disabled, paraplegic, or quadriplegic members/reviewers, e.g. how often, what types of hindrances have they experienced and encountered.

I'm also interested in corresponding with any reviewers who look for providers based on this criteria.

Many thanks for any assistance anyone is willing to provide.

Her TER is "savannahjane" if you want to talk to her.
I think I remember reading a post where she is fluent in ASL.

I'd be happy to share with you my experience with him. I also have seen another client who had lupus and was basically wheel-chair bound, as well as an amputee. Please e mail me at:

I actually wonder if speaking multiple languages besides English and Spanish helps the work.

Hi Ava,

I'm very thankful this Thanksgiving to those wonderful souls!!

to a personal home so that could be why. All of my incall locations have stairs, so that makes it rather difficult to be able to see anyone who is unable to walk or get around on their own.

"Touching Base." (link below) They are an organization that provides workshops, training and info for sexworkers in dealing with disabled people. Providers that go through their training, can put a link on their websites. It has a little wheelchair emblem, and shows the provider is disabled friendly and links back to the TB website.

I am not disabled, but learned about this through an old provider friend (She is retired now, and she is not one of my few reviews, so don't check, lol). She was a very compassionate lady who impressed me in many ways in and out of the bedroom

Touching Base only are located in Australia.  What's available here?

I've experience working with neurological disorders, clients in wheel chairs, and even those who are bed ridden.  It is beautiful, and sometimes difficult.

The quick answers to your questions: regularly, one or two clients per month.  Hinderances are mainly around mobility and physically transitioning (impacting where to meet, as well as what can be done in-session), sensitivity and pleasure training (paraplegics tend to have a different way of experiencing pleasure from the average man), and sometimes communication can be more difficult if the individual is loosing hearing or speech ability.  Another consideration which can be tricky is around the living situation - someone in an assisted living situation, or, at home in family care, etc.

I hope you get great replies and would be interested in reading your paper when you are done!

Love,
Sola

And since the OP was looking for info for a writing project, I figured she could get some useful info for her paper from TB that she might be able to use, no matter where they are located.

By the way, TER is located in the Netherlands, yet we all benefit from it.

I've seen one client that is disabled. I am open to seeing clients that are disabled.

The International Professional Surrogacy Association (IPSA) is based out of Southern California but can refer you to a therapist as well as a surrogate partner in your area. They don't advertise this information publicly, so you would need to contact them directly.

I'm waiting for a workshop to be organized so I can get certified.

Another option is abel2counseling.com in New York. I believe New York is the only state where surrogacy is legal. You must be working with a sex therapist as well as a surrogate partner in a triad.

I love the idea of Touching Base! Thank you for the link! I will look into that when I return from Thanksgiving vacation!

... in In Search Of forum almost 2 weeks ago requesting a deaf/hard of hearing provider and only one provider has responded.

Gives you an idea what's out there.

I have a Seattle recommendation.

Juls has worked with wounded Vets and may still be giving out advice.  she certainly knows some of the most erotic providers if she wants to recommend.

Many thanks to those who have responded to my post.
