Working with young men and women with an intellectual disability

I have recently been using a resource that I think is great when working with young men and women with an intellectual disability. But is also a great resource to use with any young audience that needs accurate information in a realistic but non threatening way. The resource is a DVD called 'The New Guide To Relationships and Sex' produced by Life Support Productions in the UK.

This is a dvd using avatars to explore 5 main areas:

• Growing Up



• Looking after yourself



• Sex



• Pregnancy



• Help and Advice

ShineSA has a copy in their library and resource centre if you want to give it a try.

In addition you can see a preview of this resource by emailing them. They will send you a password so that you can view the preview
