Summary

By integrating sexuality and disability literatures, theories, and research methodologies, this study aims to: 1) contribute to the limited knowledge professionals have of parents as the primary sexuality educators; 2) create a resource for parents in order to be sexuality educators for their young adults with I/DD; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the Home B.A.S.E. for Developmental Disabilities Curriculum.

In order to meet the objectives the study seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the effectiveness of a sexuality education workshop for parents of young adults with DS on improving the self-efficacy and attitudes around sexuality and healthy relationships for young adults with DS as well as increase the parent-child communication on sexuality topics?
2. What are parents' concerns that impact their ability to be the primary sexuality educators for their young adults with DS? It is proposed that parent confidence and comfort talking about sexuality topics with their young adult with Down syndrome will increase thereby increasing the parent-child communication as a result of this study.
