The views of special education and rehabilitation center staff about sexual education of persons with disabilities.

The aim of this study is to reveal the perspectives of non-disabled siblings regarding the sexuality of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The qualitative methods of mostly deep investigation and exploration were designed in the phenomenology pattern, which uses the shared opinions, perception and experience. Siblings of individuals between the ages of 18-33 and those with intellectual disabilities participated in the study. While collecting the data, Demographic Information Form and Semi-Structured Interview Form created by the researchers were used. Content analysis steps were followed in the analysis of the data. According to the results obtained from the research, three main themes have been identified: the sexuality and sexual development of individuals with intellectual disabilities through the eyes of their non-disabled siblings, the views of non-disabled siblings on the sexual life of individuals with intellectual disabilities, and the reflections of the sexuality of individuals with intellectual disabilities on their non-disabled siblings’ sexuality and social participation. In the light of the results obtained, studies on the sexuality of individuals with intellectual disabilities were discussed and parallel results were reached; however, it was seen that more research is needed due to the limited number of studies that included evaluations from the eyes of siblings without disabilities.

Individuals with multiple disabilities (MD) could receive services from different institutions throughout their lives. One of these institutions is Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers. Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers provide various services to individuals with MD. The quality of these services affects the quality of life of both the children with MD and their parents. Therefore, this study aims to determine the views of parents on the services received by the individuals with MD from Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers. Eleven female and two male parents participated in this study. The study was designed with the phenomenology pattern, one of the qualitative research methods, and data were collected with the semi-structured interview technique. The interviews lasted between 12 and 18 minutes. The data obtained from the interviews was analyzed with the descriptive analysis technique. The findings showed that parents receive various support services from Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers for both themselves and the individuals with MD, they were very content with the education and physiotherapy services provided by the institutions, and these services were very effective and beneficial for their children and themselves. In addition, it was concluded that the duration of the education services provided was too short and insufficient for their children that the state should support such institutions and that they wanted their children to be hired in a job within their competence.
