A Sexual And Reproductive Health Education Resource For Teaching People With A Disability
Why it was developed:
People
with disabilities have traditionally not had access to sexuality information. This is often because societal attitudes have failed to acknowledge
that people with a disability are sexual beings and have the same rights
to sexual expression, education and health as people without a disability.
Therefore
people with a disability may have different experiences of sexuality,
reproduction and sexual health.
They may also have differing needs for sexuality education and
information. To address this,
FPQ offers a range of services to meet the specific needs of people with
disabilities.
Every
Body Needs to Know has
been developed in response to the need expressed by educators and workers
in the disability field for a teaching/learning package addressing the
specific needs of their group. This package can also be used in conjunction with the Sexuality
Component of Human Relationships Education (HRE) and Health and Physical
Education (HPE) Curricula.
People
with disabilities, particularly an intellectual disability, may have complex
and multifactorial needs in the area of sexuality education.
Every
Body Needs to Know
addresses the sexuality issues of people with a disability including:
-
Limited ability to acquire knowledge
-
Limited peer interactions
-
Difficulties in distinguishing fact from fiction
-
Increased vulnerability to sexual assault and exploitation
-
Difficulties determining appropriate behaviours
-
Difficulties predicting consequences of actions
-
High rates of sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancies and sexually related offences
-
Strong negative messages about selves and sexuality.
Every Body Needs to Know was developed to support the belief that all
people have the right and ability to learn about their own sexuality.
