Popis: Sex education with the developmentally disabled maintains a broad focus. This includes the promotion of knowledge, attitudes and skills. While there are many educational techniques which have proven effective in the transmission of knowledge, many programs still have difficulty enhancing attitudes and skills. This article supplements the traditional techniques of sex education with the developmentally disabled through inclusion of group treatment strategies. Techniques drawn from structured group treatment, the mainstream model of group work and group psychotherapy are used toward the goals of increasing sexual knowledge, attitudes and skills. Examples from the authors' clinical and educational practices are used to illustrate important points.
