Occupational Therapy Education

Sexuality and Disability

This assignment is worth 25 points and is due on April 14th. It should be submitted in class (not electronically).

For this assignment, please first find and read a definition of 'sexuality' as used in the healthcare literature. Then go to the professional literature and seek out three (3) reports related to sexuality and disability that also are relevant to the concept of contextual factors. These may be reports related to research, to clinical interventions, or to policy. At least one of the reports must be obtained from a source other than Occupational Therapy literature.

Make a photocopy of the first page of each report, being sure to include the title, source, and abstract. Next, write a 5 - 10 sentence (e.g., brief, but not sparse!) paragraph summarizing each article using your own words. Be sure to include statements saying why you believe each report is relevant to this course and to the practice of Occupational Therapy. Also be sure to avoid including biased or other non-professional language, but do be sure to check your grammar and spelling!

Finally, be sure to include your name on your summary page(s) but DO NOT include your name on the photocopied pages.
