Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Realignment of previous expectations with actual sexual capacities is a major goal in facilitating sexual health among the disabled. This involves accepting and embracing one's limitations while finding ways to express sexuality that are satisfying and fulfilling. Ignoring encumbrances or trying to overcome all limitations may not be practical or even possible for many individuals with disabilities, and limiting sexual expression to only masturbation may not be fulfilling for everyone.
