Two
new, innovative and invaluable resources from Bodysense for teaching
children and young adults with physical and learning disabilities
about the human body and sxxual issues, and as an aid to developing
skills in personal relationships and appropriate behaviour.
These resources have been designed
to respond to the specific needs of those who are wheelchair users
and who would not necessarily identify with standing models. The
innovative design of the sitting models has created realistic
movements at the hip and knees. The handcrafted wheelchair is
scaled to the size of the models and is fully manoeuvrable and
can be folded for storage and transport.
The half life-size, anatomically
correct, realistic male and female cloth models are regularly
used in clinic settings and by school nurses and speech therapists
on a one to one basis to facilitate effective two-way communication.
Within Special Needs education they are an invaluable teaching
resource to support learning about the adult body, sxxual behaviour
and personal and sxxual relationships.
The Manager, The Revd. Jane Fraser,
is and experienced consultant and trainer on sxxuality and disability
issues who is able to offer training on the use of the models
in a variety of settings.
Cost:
£475 for pair of sitting models incl. full users’ notes, clothing
