Download or read book Sexuality Education Needs Assessment and Curriculum for Youth Living in Out of home Placements written by Randilee Ann Groff and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year in the United States, hundreds of thousands of adolescent females become pregnant. Teenage pregnancy is particularly detrimental for marginalized populations (Healthy Teen Network, 2008), such as youth living in out-of-home placements, including both formal and informal foster care. This population is at an elevated risk for pregnancy and for contracting sexually transmitted infections because of a variety of factors. For youth in out-of-home placements, multiple school and residential placement changes often contribute to a lack of access to accurate information and education which is detrimental to their current and future sexual health. This project consists of two parts which examine and address the specific needs of this population. The first part of the project includes a needs assessment based on secondary data collected by the Placer County Health and Human Services Department. The second part of the project is a curriculum entitled I Can..., which is based on the findings of the needs assessment. This project is particularly significant for professionals who work with youth in a variety of contexts and has important implications for the provision of sexuality education to youth living out-of-home.
Download or read book Sexuality Education for Youths in Care written by Bronwyn Mayden and published by CWLA Press (Child Welfare League of America). This book was released on 1996 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that youth in out-of-home care are at high risk of engaging in early, unprotected sexual activity, yet these youth often lack access to information on sexuality and family planning services. States were surveyed on their policies regarding the provision of sexuality education and family planning for youth in out-of-home care; the provision of sexuality education training for caseworkers and foster parents; statistics on the number of girls who become pregnant while in care or come into care pregnant; and the prevalence of adolescent pregnancy for youth in care. The work contains the survey results and concludes with recommendations for health assessments, data collection, programs, and policies.

Download or read book Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Canadian Context written by Kimberly Maich and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a unique focus on Canada-wide practices and research, this text offers a comprehensive introduction to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Covering the clinical, educational, and community perspectives of ASD, the authors highlight how educators, direct support professionals, and communities at large can support people with ASD across their lifespan: from early years, to school years, to adulthood. Additionally, the authors emphasize the emerging nature of the field and the importance of evidence based interventions. The resource is divided into four thematic sections. Section one gives an overview of ASD, including prominent researchers in the field and changes in its diagnostic criteria. Section two looks at evidence-based interventions and the newer sensory theories and frameworks. The third section examines ASD across the lifespan, as well as the experiences of parents and families. The final section looks at additional critical issues, including media, sexuality, peer relationships, and immigration. Beyond being a vital asset for ASD programs and resource centres across the country, Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Canadian Context has broad applications suitable for courses on ASD in behavioural science, education, and health studies programs. FEATURES: - Each chapter features figures, definitions, examples, and questions designed to deepen understanding and elicit reflection - Includes feature boxes with interesting perspectives provided by varied members of Canada’s ASD community - Unlike other textbooks on ASD, this text focuses on ASD across the lifespan, covering infancy, early childhood and school years, as well as adulthood, in the Canadian context
