Sex education is not only necessary for non-disabled children. Children with ID, who face some difficulties in daily life, also need it. This study aimed to explore the effect of basic sex education for female pre-teens with intellectual disabilities. This study was a case report qualitative study involving one female participant aged 11 years with a moderate intellectual disability. Moreover, the intervention was designed based on the needs of the participants and it was divided into 6 sessions. Based on data obtained from observations and interviews, participants have understood sensitive body parts which other people should not touch without their consent including how to cover parts of his body fully clothed, as well as being more assertive to show disapproval when he wants to be touched without his consent. Thus, it can be concluded that basic sex education interventions for pre-teen girls with intellectual disabilities can be said to be effective.
