how to teach sex education to MR students?

Answer 1

The answer is "it depends." For high-function situations, essentially the same as for children without cognitive impairments--it just hast to be repeated more (reinforced) and put in simpler terms. BUT--with all teacheable persons with such impaairments, an emphasis has to be placed on self-restraint and stragegies that will enable them to protect themselves as much as possible from being duped into exploitativesituations.

For many others, the concepts are too involved to grasp--but behavioral training is not. In this sort of case, a set of accetable behaviors is taught. That's adequate for public situations. How to enable these "moderately functional" people to cope privately is more difficult--mostly because the research is sadly lacking--and the rehab professionals need to start dealing with this issue instead f pretending it doesn't exist.

Some--extremely low-function cases--can't be taught effectively, at least with our present knowledge. However, in such cases, they must be institutionalized--we as a society have no other option at present. You'll find different opinions about this, but based on what we do know, heree's my assement: in such cases, these extreme cases are rarely agressive. They must be confined anyway--so administer birth control and don't worry about it.

Answer 2

Well, not all MR students learn at the same pace. Some may be more advanced than others. You have to see who is actually capable of understanding the concept of sex first. Some can, and some won't.

Contact Planned Parenthood. They have a very well-planned and effective course that they teach to children with all levels of disabilities. They will come in and do it for free for most schools or organizations. Alternatively they have kits you can borrow, with flyers and such, to use.

We saw the presentation last year at the governor's conference on disabilities. it was quite reassuring for me, as a parent.

Answer 4

Uh the same way you do to normal students. If it even matters they're mentally retarded they'll probally forget in a few minutes and eat their macaroni necklaces anyway.
