SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

该项目将制作一系列四个完全互动的光盘节目，旨在防止对轻度至中度精神发育迟滞(MR)青少年的性虐待。对患有精神分裂症的青少年的性虐待是地方性的，但在制定性虐待预防方案时，最有可能发生性侵害的关系往往被忽视。这些计划将满足这一需求。直接指导(DI)教学方法将被用来教授MR学生(A)识别性行为，(B)区分四种类型的关系，以及(C)将针对关系的决定规则应用于广泛的人和生活背景中的性进步。通过与光盘程序的互动过程，用户将观察特定关系的互动，评估行为的适当性，练习应用决策规则，并能够查看与对性虐待情况做出适当反应相关的积极后果，以及发生在性犯罪者身上的消极后果。该程序将分析用户的反应，并提供即时反馈和针对错误的补救措施。该项目的第一阶段将制作和评估一个原型计划，目标是高中女生。在第二阶段，将完成针对初中男性和女性以及高中男性的另外三个项目。建议的商业应用：这些光盘产品的市场包括向儿童和青少年提供有关安全和预防行为的教育或信息材料的所有机构(例如，小学和中学、特殊教育服务和班级、公共和私人卫生组织和诊所、非营利性和私人危机项目、娱乐中心、公共图书馆以及州、县和市卫生部门)。

This project will produce a series of four fully interactive CD-ROM programs designed to prevent the sexual abuse of adolescents with mild to moderate mental retardation (MR). Sexual abuse of youth with MR is endemic, yet the relationships wherein sexual victimization is most likely to occur are frequently overlooked in the development of sexual abuse prevention programs. These programs will meet that need. Direct instruction (DI) teaching methods will be used to teach MR students (a) to identify sexual behavior, (b) differentiate between four types of relationships, and (c) apply relationship-specific decision rules to sexual advances across a wide range of people and life contexts. Through an interactive process with the CD-ROM program, users will observe relationship-specific interactions, assess appropriateness of behavior, practice applying decision rules, and be able to view the positive consequences associated with appropriate responses to sexually abusive situations; and the negative consequences that happen to sexual offenders. The program will analyze user responses and will provide immediate feedback and error-specific remediation. Phase I of this project will produce and evaluate a prototype program, targeting high school females. In Phase II three additional programs targeting middle school males and females, and high school males will be completed. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The market for these CD-ROM products includes all agencies that provide educational or informational materials to children and adolescents regarding safety and preventive behavior (e.g., elementary and middle schools, special education services and classes, public and private health organizations and clinics, non-profit and private crisis programs, recreation centers, public libraries, and state, county, and city health departments).
