ABSTRACT
This Study aimed to analyse the different research studies available previously on sexuality education for adults with intellectual disabilities. Findings suggest that these sexuality education programmes enhance knowledge, decision-making, interpersonal skills and awareness of adults with intellectual disabilities. This review of available studies also helps in identifying the curriculum to make them aware on sexuality, risk of sexual abuse, sexual behaviour, expressing and controlling sexual needs in the correct way and place.
