Abstract

Sexuality education (SE) for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities is needed, but is sparse. Seven individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and two educators participated in a mixed method participatory design to iteratively refine nine learning activities for SE. We analyzed usability, usefulness, and desirability of each activity. The utilization of multiple modalities, experiential learning opportunities, and inclusion of different perspectives yielded nine learning activities that were usable, useful, and desirable. This work resulted in learning activities to improve accessibility of SE for individuals with I/DD. Additional research is needed to evaluate activity effectiveness in improving knowledge.

摘要

需要为智力和发育障碍者提供性教育 (SE)，但这种教育很少。七名智力和发育障碍人士和两名教育工作者参与了混合方法参与式设计，以迭代改进九个 SE 学习活动。我们分析了每项活动的可用性、有用性和可取性。多种模式的利用、体验式学习机会和不同观点的包容产生了九种可用、有用和可取的学习活动。这项工作导致了学习活动，以提高 I/DD 个人对 SE 的可及性。需要额外的研究来评估活动在提高知识方面的有效性。
