The Maryland Assembly is an advocacy organization that promotes school-based health care as a means to advance the belief that all Maryland children and youth have a basic fundamental right to access and receive comprehensive, quality health care.
School-based health care represents an essential strategy toward improving the lives of Maryland’s children and their families and optimizing their ability to become contributing members of society. School-based health care addresses the unique needs of children and youth and increases access to medical, mental, dental and/or other health related services.
MASBHC’s biggest initiatives include our participation in Hallways to Health through the School Based Health Alliance, our annual conference, and our advocacy work.

Sex Ed for Young People with Disabilities: Trends, Strategies, and Ways School-Health Providers Can Help
May 5, 2025, at 3pm
Presenters:
Morrigan Hunter, MA, MSW
Katherine McLaughlin, CEO, Elevatus
Elizabeth Cook, MSPH, Child Trends
Young people with disabilities have long been denied access to sexuality education. This results in many unnecessary adverse life experiences such as abuse and trauma. Best practices for providing sexuality education to young people with disabilities include supporting young people’s dignity of risk and letting young people decide what works best for them given their own values and cultural backgrounds. School-based health centers may be uniquely situated to provide this education and focusing on accessibility and ADA compliance may help to ensure that young people with disabilities can access their services.
CME/CE (1 credit) will be available for nurses, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, physicians, social workers and behavioral health providers. Provided through the Moses/Weitzman Health System, Inc.
In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Maryland Assembly on School-Based Health Care and Moses/Weitzman Health System, Inc. and is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
