Written by teachers from a secondary school for pupils with severe learning difficulties, this book provides teachers in both mainstream and special schools with a tried and successful progressive health education curriculum for pupils with moderate and severe learning difficulties.

Using a range of techniques and practical ideas, the book equips teachers with a step-by-step teaching program for each stage of learning which covers nationally recommended guidelines for personal and social education. In addition, the book offers clear guidance on planning and on ways to work with parents and governors, and emphasizes a whole-school approach to sex and health education which builds on existing skills and increases the teacher's confidence in tackling this difficult subject.
