Consultant Walker-Hirsch seeks to inform caregivers, physicians, social workers and educators about the basic human need for expressions of sexuality, affection and intimacy shared by all people, including those with intellectual disabilities, and means of fulfilling those needs within the contexts of self-determination and individual decision-making. She and her contributors cover special education, sexuality and intellectual disability as a combined social phenomenon, risk management related to sexual issues, including legal ramifications, and treatment issues, including therapists' models for helping people with intellectual disabilities recover from sexual abuse.
