Persons with disabilities have the same rights as those who do not have disabilities, as declared in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities. They have a right to have relationships and establish a family. This gives them the same right to access sexual health services. As sexuality is a natural part of being human, they have the right to know about it, and experience safety as they express it and enjoy it. Cultural and religious mores and traditions, however, often hinder persons with disabilities from expressing their sexuality. More so, persons who have moderate to severe levels of intellectual disability are presumed to have no interest in sexuality-related matters. However, the opposite is true. Findings in this study show the need to teach competencies on human biological systems related to sexuality, safe masturbation, safe sex practices, the concept of abuse, dating and relationships, and the importance of consent in a relationship. Thus, a sexual health literacy program was developed based on the needs and cognitive capacity of teens and young adults who have moderate to severe levels of intellectual disability. These emanated from focus group discussions with parents and teachers of teens and young adults with this profile. The participants were chosen as primary program implementers. Further, the developed sexual health literacy program is also anchored on the World Health Organization's sexual health literacy content recommendation.
