Sexuality and individual support plans for people with intellectual disabilities

ConclusionsAlthough sexuality is addressed in most ISP documents, there is little information available about the provision of professional support in this area that would give people the opportunity to exert sexual rights. As sexuality and exerting sexual rights are important for people with ID as well as for other people, it is recommended that issues surrounding proactive sex education, shared decision‐making and the implementation of sexual healthcare plans are addressed in the ISP.
