Do children with intellectual disabilities also need sex education?

Yes. In fact, they can have fewer chances to learn about boundaries, consent, and recognizing abuse, so it's essential for safety too. Professional organizations recommend teaching—not with abstract explanations but concretely, step by step, and repeatedly, matched to the child's understanding—body-part names, private zones, consent, the public/private distinction, and puberty changes. Picture cards, photos, and practice in real situations help. More than the worry that teaching will "stimulate" them, knowing correctly becomes the power to protect themselves.
