Sex and Relationships Education : A Visual Program for Learners with Autistic Spectrum Disorders or Learning Disabilities (2 School edition)

This comprehensive resource by the internationally recognised trainer and author Fiona Speirs consists of a number of PowerPoint presentations (also provided digitally) to be delivered as a complete programme.

Facilitator notes relating to the PowerPoint slides are provided along with clearly defined learning aims and outcomes for each section of the programme.

Learner worksheets and information sheets are also included and can be collated into individual files for the learners to refer to.

It is the author s firm belief that we cannot shy away from delivering meaningful sex and relationships education to those at the high-functioning end of the autistic or learning disability spectrum.

Providing full and concrete information can help to ensure that learners are given the support that they need to develop healthy and safe relationships with others and to behave in ways that are both socially and lawfully acceptable.
