Child Sexual Abuse Curriculum for the Developmentally Disabled

by Sol R. Rappaport, Anthony F. Rotatori

This book is designed to teach sexual abuse prevention skills to children with developmental disabilities based on their social reasoning abilities. Their vulnerabilities show the importance of providing this information to these children at a level consistent with their reasoning abilities. In order to educate children with developmental disabilities about sexual abuse prevention one must first teach children about their bodies. The curriculum presented in this book meets both of these goals. The book's primary audience is special education teachers, social workers, nurses, and psychologists who provide services to children with developmental disabilities. A secondary audience is administrators and other educators who provide consultation and program development services for agencies and schools.
