Relationships and Sexuality Education for young adults with Intellectual Disabilities: A Step too Far?

Aim of paper People with intellectual disabilities have aspirations and expectations regarding relationships and the expression of their sexuality. Evidence highlights that for some there is an absence of friendship and barriers to the expression of their sexuality. The aim of this submission is to provide an overview of the research evidence regarding the design, content and delivery of relationship and sexuality education programmes specific to the needs of young adults with intellectual disabilities and programme content and the role of nurses and other professionals in the delivery.
