CANDID AND EXPERT STORYTELLING ABOUT
DISABILITY, INTIMACY, SEXUALITY AND COMPASSION
A 1982 diving accident resulted in Tepper’s cervical spinal cord injury.
His pursuit of knowledge about the
intersection of sexuality and disability started in rehab and became a
decades-long career as a researcher, educator, consultant, author, and now
filmmaker.
Tepper’s association with United
Spinal also began in rehab.
“After I broke my neck, somebody visited me in my room and my mother signed me up as a member,’’ he said.
“I got
very involved in leadership roles through the 1980s with what then was the
National Spinal Cord Injury Association Connecticut Chapter, eventually serving
as their President before moving on to be Executive Vice President of the
national organization (NSCIA).”
