Supporting Puberty and Adolescence

Young people with disabilities may require specialised teaching strategies when learning about puberty, sexuality and relationships.

This workshop provides practical information for parents/carers, teachers, support workers, and health professionals to support young people in their understanding and experience of puberty.

Topics we cover:

• What is puberty and adolescence?

• Sex, gender and gender dysphoria

• Public and private

• Sexual feelings, arousal and masturbation

• Menstruation

• Hygiene

• Best practice approaches to teaching about puberty

This workshop is for parents, carers, students, teachers and health professionals. There is a limit of 3 participants from the same organisation.
