Further Development

The vast majority of public and residential schools feel a responsibility to provide sex education for their visually handicapped students, and although less so, the feeling is also strong in agencies dealing with the blind. The majority offer some kind of sex education program, but many of these programs need further development. In general, the public school programs seem more thorough and better planned than those of the residential schools or agencies. There is a recognized need to provide good sex education programs, but a lack of good audio and tactual teaching aids, among other things, is blocking progress. The schools and agencies see the problem and are seeking solutions.

Careful planning is necessary to establish a constructive, comprehensive, and developmental program in sex education for visually handicapped children and youth which is designed to inform and guide, yet has enough flexibility to recognize and meet highly individualized needs, and which allows the wholesome, healthy growth of the personal sexual self in the home and in society. Considerations must be given to staffing, budget, curriculum, materials, and models, as well as to the development of understanding and good communication with the home and among all staff members directly involved or in peripheral areas. Seven years of experience with such a program in a residential setting has produced observed profitable results.

The professional preparation and responsibilities of the teacher and the mobility instructor are examined to point out overlapping areas that already exist. Consideration is given to the advantages of this approach, as well as to some likely criticism and to some unresolved questions.
