Masturbation is frequently referenced as a key issue for supporting the sexuality of people with learning disabilities, yet the subject has received little attention in the professional and academic literature. This article provides an overview of masturbation in relation to service responses and user support in sexuality work in learning disability more widely, drawing in evidence and experience from sex education, clinical work and staff training. Issues such as gender, sexuality, culture and consent are addressed and some of the commonly held myths and assumptions about sexuality and masturbation are challenged. The discussion and related suggestions are designed to be of value to service managers and practitioners, particularly those involved in sexuality work and one-to-one support.

More than just a quick fix? The potential of joint commissioning in services for people with learning disabilities
- Author:
- CAMBRIDGE Paul
- Journal article citation:

- Publisher:
- Social Services Research Group
Joint working between health and social services has a long record of fragmentation and under-performance in community services for people with learning disabilities. This article examines the renewed potential for joint commissioning in the context of the Government's emerging social care policy agenda, including its commitment to partnership and performance management. Drawing on case evidence from learning disability and the wider academic literature, it identifies pointers for the development of joint commissioning in learning disability and argues for the monitoring and evaluation of emerging models.
Gender, ethnicity and challenging behaviour: a literature review and exploratory study
- Authors:
- TERLIZZI Michele Di, CAMBRIDGE Paul, MARAS Pam
- Journal article citation:
- Tizard Learning Disability Review, 4(4), November 1999, pp.33-44.
- Publisher:
- Emerald
This article explores the relevant literature to map and identify the issues, and profiles a exploratory study of special schools, adult residential services and community support teams, to identify the gender and ethnic characteristics of people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours. The findings suggest that gender stereotypes contribute to the attribution of maladaptive behaviour in boys, significant in severe and moderate learning disabilities in schools. The findings on ethnicity are discussed with reference to staff training and the implications of providing gender-sensitive and culturally appropriate service responses and support.
