A. Don't even get me going on this subject... but, since you asked--From the three different public school systems in two different states our FASD specifically ARND child has been involved the school system has not been involved with anything I have not had to nearly shove down their faces... At no time has anyone ever attempted to directly contact in any way any of the doctors or therapists for anything at all. The burden of doing this has been the Parents Position on the IEP Team!

Do you have trouble talking to your disabled children about sex?
Q. I know a lot of parents regardless of their child's ability have this issue. But with your disabled children do you find it harder, did you start teaching them later than reccommended as in their age and why?

A. For most (almost all) physically disabled children it is entirely irrelevant that they are disabled as they are fully capable of having a sexual relationship. Thus they should be taught the same as "normal" children. In the case of intellectually disabled children an individual evaluation of their ability to; (1) maintain a sexual relationship, (2) willingly engage in sexual activity and (3) their vulnerability to sexual exploitation; will inform the parent/caregiver as to what steps to take in terms of education.

A. It is a form of penicillin! It can be called several things but it is always a form of PCN. And no I've worked in a emergency department for 10 yrs and no doctor I know would prescribe that for a cut finger! Typically if they are afraid of infection they would treat with IV antibiotics.
