Abstract

Sexuality is an expression of feelings that goes beyond a simple connotation of genitality, through social, biological and psychological manifestations of a person. Therefore, the psycho education process was considered as a main axis to be able to instruct the facilitators and support assistants on the issue of sexuality of people with intellectual disabilities, whose main objective is to reduce the prejudices and stereotypes that at that time Problems related to sexuality and intellectual disability were evidenced and addressed. This is due to the fact that unsubstantiated perspectives, exclusive attitudes and little research were observed on the subject of sexuality and its various manifestations in intellectual disability. Then, under this reference, topics such as: introduction to sexuality and disability, anatomy and physiology of the human being, stereotypes, myths and taboos that society has references to erotic expressions and desire orientation are addressed. Finally, two workshops were held to provide psycho education strategies and solutions to the problems of prejudice, inappropriate masturbation and sexual violence. Using for these topics, informative and dynamic workshops in order to encourage the change of perspectives and instruct topics, clarify terminology regarding sexuality and intellectual disability and finally avoid the transmission of erroneous information that only caused misunderstandings.
