SOCIAL-SEXUAL EDUCATION OF STUDENTS AND YOUTH WITH MULTIPLE DISABILITIES

Abstract

Socio-sexual education of students and young people with multiple disabilities is a topic that provokes a lot of discussion, both among the professional community and society as a whole. As a society, we continue to feel uncomfortable about sexuality and disability. That is why it is not uncommon for misunderstandings and confusions in socio-sexual development and upbringing to stem from these different ideas that people have about sexuality. All this requires to enrich the pedagogical experience in this field and to offer modern educational programs in social and sexual education for students and young people with many disabilities.
Clear rules, specific training and impact guidelines, as well as appropriate practical training for school staff and the family are very important in providing appropriate social and sexual training to a child with multiple disabilities. Good policies and guidelines reduce the risk of real abuse or suspicion. A holistic approach to social and sexual education may take longer, but ensures success in providing sexual education to this group of students and young people.
