Abstract

With increasing deinstitutionalization and more mentally retarded persons returning to community living, there is a correspondingly greater need for supervisory personnel and institutional staff members to become more informed about, more sensitive to, and better able to work with the sexual needs of this special population. It is imperative that such training begin within the institution where preparation for community living begins. Training programs are needed to help staff members learn to guide and reinforce residents for appropriate sex related behaviors rather than emphasizing control, inhibition, or denial of the sexuality of the retarded. In an effort to develop an effective statewide training model, data collected from a pilot Sexuality Training Workshop for the staff at an institution for the mentally retarded in North Carolina was collected and assessed.
