Supportive training course and self-help groups of parents of youth with physical and learning disabilities on sexual education, techniques and appropriate behaviour

The parents as the prime sexual educator do not offer sufficient sexual education to their children as a stage of the youth development.

Parents or guardians are the first and primary sexual health educators of children. What parents say and do can have a powerful influence on the development of healthy sexuality in children.

Major part of youth with disabilities face a lack of the opportunity to learn about sex and protective behaviours in an appropriate manner. This leads to lack of preparation and knowledge for having human-to-human relationships, including sex and might find it difficult to express their sexuality in a satisfying way.
