Sexuality education strategies for caregivers of students with intellectual disability

Project (Ed.S., School Psychology) -- California State University, Sacramento, 2013.The authors collaborated and shared equal responsibility in all aspects of the development of this project, which identifies how caregivers of students with an intellectual disability (ID) can utilize evidence-based strategies when teaching sexuality education. Students with ID have been historically believed to be asexual beings and did not benefit from sexuality education; however, they are sexual beings, who will experience sexuality development. This project aims to provide caregivers with a better understanding of sexuality and the need to educate students with ID about their changing bodies, emotions, and behaviors. Furthermore, this project is to develop a training workshop about sexuality education and provide evidence-based strategies which caregivers can use when teaching students with ID.School Psycholog
