People with a disability often get minimal if any comprehensive sexual health and relationships education. Sexual health education is essential for keeping people safe and allowing for maximum development. At Sexual Health Counselling and Education Services we start this education with a person centered approach and believe that all people can learn and develop positive sexual lives.
We use specialised teaching and learning resources including anatomically correct puppets, simple line drawings online video and aac tools made specifically for people with an intellectual disability.
We specialise in working with people with problematic sexualised behaviours and are accredited to use the Armadilo-S tool for assessing a persons risk for sexual offending.
Like other people in our community people with an intellectual disability may have trauma as a result of child sexual abuse or sexual assault. Unfortunately this is often left unresolved. Sexual Health Counselling and Education Services will work with clients to help make sense of these experiences.
