Sex Ed for Individuals with I/DD: Introduction to Series
The National Council on Independent Living’s project helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities learn about sex.
Some of the things we talk about in this project are:
- What sex is
- What gender is
- What a healthy relationship looks like
- How someone can get pregnant
- How to protect yourself against sexually transmitted diseases and infections
This project has two parts.
- Part 1 is a series of videos.
- Part 2 is a discussion guide in plain language.
You can read the guide before or after you watch the videos.
The videos and the guide both have the same information. Some people might find it easier to watch the videos. Some people might find it easier to read the guide. Some people might want to do both.
This project is important because people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities can use the videos and guide by themselves. You can ask someone to help you if you want. But the videos and guide were made for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to use even if they don’t have someone to help them.
There are ten videos. You can watch the videos in any order you want.
