Abstrakt: The sexuality-related issues and service needs of people with developmental disabilities (DD) have received increasing attention over the past two decades. This article introduces the Psychosexual Assessment and Treatment (PSAT) Continuum as a comprehensive schema for conceptualizing the broad range of sexuality-related issues and needs of this population. Each of the Continuum's five categorical domains (psycho-education, interpersonal, trauma, psychosexual disorder, forensic) are described and a discussion of its utility for practice is included.
