About this book
This essential manual helps educators comfortably and knowledgeably deliver lessons in comprehensive sex education to young people with developmental disabilities in the context of special education.

The second half breaks down the how-tos of implementing a successful sex education program and troubleshoots tricky situations that might come up for a variety of students. Updated with new material on implementing lessons and on gender, as well as reflection questions and personal stories from self-advocates, this second edition equips you with best practices for providing students with developmental disabilities with the knowledge and tools to engage in healthy relationships and live full lives as self-advocating sexual beings.
