Guidelines for providing sexuality-related services to severely and profoundly retarded individuals: The challenge for the nineteen-nineties

Abstract

Severely and profoundly retarded individuals are sexual persons with needs and concerns that must be addressed by the habilitation agencies and human service professionals serving them. Such agencies need to review and consider revising both their policies and programmatic and in-service staff training procedures to incorporate the clinical model for treatment, training, and management recommended by The Coalition on Sexuality and Disability, Inc. © 1991 Human Sciences Press, Inc.
