This study examined the sexual behavior of Filipino Deaf high school students. Participants were active in sexual activities. All the participants acknowledge themselves as Deaf, spelled with a capital D, as they use sign language as a medium of communication. This qualitative study utilized a focus group discussion that was conducted in Filipino Sign Language, the medium of communication used by the participants. Two other teachers who are certified sign language interpreters assisted as some of the participants would sign together during the interaction, making interpretation difficult. The results showed that despite cultural taboo, the participants were active in sexual activities that range from masturbation to full intercourse. Some reported that sexual abuse by a relative or an adult is the reason for the onset of sexual activity.

“…A number of researchers highlight the lack of appropriate deaf sex offender treatment (Bramley, 2007;Miller & Vernon, 2003;Miller, Vernon, & Capella 2005), sex education (Getch, Branca, Fitzgerald, & Fitzgerald, 2001) and prevention programs (Sullivan et al, 1987) in both the United States and Europe.

A review of the literature relating to the psychological treatment needs of deaf mentally disordered offenders residing in high secure settings was conducted. Four literature searches were conducted relating to offending, mental illness, assessment and treatment with the deaf. The literature regarding these areas was found to be highly limited. Despite this, evidence suggests that deaf people are over represented in high secure facilities. It is also suggested that deaf offenders show higher levels of violent and sexual offences than their hearing counterparts. Most theories accounting for this difference in offending relate to the insufficient acquirement of social understanding however the finding may be an artefact of biases in the criminal justice system. Overall deaf people appear to experience similar levels of mental illness but greater levels of learning disability than hearing people. There are numerous sources of error when conducting assessments with deaf people. Similarly there are a number of challenges when delivering interventions with deaf people. These issues are discussed in terms of their implications for the psychological treatment needs of deaf mentally disordered offenders. Suggestions for future research include making use of systematic case studies to avoid some of the methodological challenges of researching this population.
