Staffs do not have enough knowledge how to provide sex education to mentally young people. Some countries have excellent models, but some have nothing.

Out project addresses to staff who works with mental disabled youngsters—including Down syndrome; cerebral palsy; paraplegia and quadriplegia; developmental disorders; and mental health issues. The main questions we are going to answer during this project are: - Who should give the sex education to mentally disabled youngster? - How it is to be given? - How to prevent mentally disabled youngsters form misinformation, dirty stories, myths and wild fantasies? - How to help severe mentally disabled youngsters to understand their body? -How to minimize the risk of sexual abuse and exploitation of mentally disabled? - What is the role that parents must play in educating their children with disabilities? - Does luck of physical contact may impact sexual development of mentally disabled youngsters? - What is the policy in each country about the sex education of special needs people?
