발달장애 청소년을 대상으로 한 사회성 및 성적 발달을 위한 집단 프로그램 개발 및 적용 효과 연구

초록

This study aimed to develop a group program for social and sexual development for adolescents with developmental disabilities and to evaluate the applicability of the program by implementing it with them. Based on a literature review, a 10-session program based on cognitive behavioral therapy was developed and the validity of the program was confirmed through consultation with two parents of adolescents with developmental disabilities and two experts in the field of sexual problems in people with developmental disabilities. The main content of the program comprises understanding oneself and social relationships. The program was conducted with five adolescents aged 11-17 with mild intellectual disability or borderline intelligence, and its appropriateness and effectiveness were examined. In individual interviews about social and sexual knowledge and attitudes, participants tended to recognize the physical changes of puberty more naturally than before. Positive changes were also observed, such as reporting the need to respect social boundaries when expressing interest and desire for sex. This study is expected to have implications for effective interventions in the social and sexual development of adolescents with developmental disabilities.
