Meet Your Hosts🎙️

Dr. Kathryn Ellis, OTD, OTR/L (she/her) and Devlynn Neu, MS, OTR/L, CSOT (they/he) are back together and cohosting the second annual virtual OT Sex Summit!

Kathryn is the founder of ISOT and creator of the CSOT certification. She’s led the charge in making sex and intimacy a widespread part of OT practice—through research, clinical work, and education.

Devlynn is the founder of The Rainbow OT and a nationally recognized voice in LGBTQIA+ advocacy and gender-affirming care. They bring lived experience, clinical depth, and unfiltered honesty to every room they’re in.

Together, they’re setting the tone for a summit that’s clinically grounded and impossible to ignore.

  • Guided experiential learning activities

  • Scenario-based reflection or demonstration

The Pleasure Compass: Exploring Pathways to Desire, Intimacy, and Meaning

Participants will explore desire, pleasure, boundaries, erotic identity, and the sociocultural influences while gaining practical tools for clinical care. We'll examine how increasing our own sexual self-awareness can strengthen our ability to support authentic, client-centered sexual health outcomes

Not Your Auntie's Sex Ed: Psychoeducation for OT Clients

Psychoeducation is a huge part of addressing sex in clinical practice. Participants will learn some basic sex education that many of our clients most likely never learned and go through the same exploration exercises that we can use with our clients.

Keynote Speaker:
Joseph Christian Ungco, OTD, OTR/L

Erotic Embodiment & Sexual Self-Expression

How often might our clients say, "I'm not sexy," or 'oh, I don't know how to flirt"? Using ourselves as examples, we'll explore ways to help clients develop knowledge of their particular brand of sexy, sexual expression, and how they might communicate.

Whole Person Approach to Painful Intercourse

Painful intercourse is multifaceted, so it requires a whole person approach for effective care. In this session, deepen your clinical practice through experiential learning and case discussion in pain science, nervous system regulation, identity, beliefs, and autonomy as it applies to dyspareunia

Queer and Gender Affirming Care in Pelvic Health

Through the use of case study and collaborative conversation, we will explore pelvic health for the LGBTQ+ population. Discussion topics will include: gender-affirming surgery and the role of OT; trauma-informed care; HRT and pelvic changes; and building an inclusive environment.

Breaking the Silence:
The Movement Continues With You

This talk challenges practitioners to move from receiver to contributor, to consider how they will share what they have learned, what they observe in practice, and what they know from experience, because sustaining a paradigm shift takes every voice in the room.

Paving the Way Towards Pleasure Panel

Day 2 | NOV 8, 2026

Given the lack of widespread integration of sexuality OT in everyday OT clinical care, advocacy is an essential part of our work. Facilitated by Devlynn “Dev” Neu, this panel spotlights the everyday advocacy efforts that have lead to significant impact whether that's policy change or a single OT bringing up the topic with one client at one clinic.
