children with intellectual disabilities ages of 3 to 9 and their parents, teachers and caretakers.
3. A sexual education toolkit that focuses on the specific needs of children with intellectual disabilities that focuses on:
Tacit knowledge is that which is neither expressed
nor declared openly but rather implied or simply
understood and is often associated with intuition. The
“soft skills” and the development of social judgment
ought to be a higher priority than reproductive system
information.
TACIT KNOWLEDGE VS. CONCRETE KNOWLEDGE PARENTS
The primary users of the toolkit are parents because
of their elonged engagement in the education and
support of their child, but it can also be helpful for
professional educators and caretakers who care for
or have a child with cognitive disability in their class.
3 TO 9 YEARS OLD
The intended age gorup is children bewtween the
ages of 3 and 9. The age range is wide because
of the wide variety of disability levels in thi group.
