Intimate self touch and masturbation can be difficult for professionals who work with people with learning disabilities to deal with, particularly when it happens in public, or in front of other clients.
Sometimes people with learning disabilities are carrying out the masturbation somewhere private and appropriate but they are not able to masturbate effectively, or they use objects that are not fit for purpose, so they hurt themselves.
The aim of this course is to support practitioners working with people with learning disabilities to enable clients to masturbate safely and effectively if they so choose.
