Vita/Bio:

Nick Winges-Yanez, Ph.D., LMSW is an adjunct assistant professor at the Texas Center for Disability Studies (TCDS) through the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin. She is also a program manager with TCDS, working on the Texas Sibling Network and the Healthy Relationships project. As a sibling to someone labeled with ID, she is interested in creating a community for other adult siblings.

Nick worked in residential settings for adults labeled with I/DD and co-occurring mental health conditions for over ten years. For over half that time, she worked in a house with men labeled with I/DD who had sexual offending behaviors. It was this experience that led her to return to university. Her main research focus has been on sexuality and intellectual disability, specifically how the two have intertwined throughout history.
