[humanser] Sex education for blind college student

[Paulette Vickery]

I would suggest that you help your client fully understand that she has already paid for this class and there is nothing wrong, pushy, or forward, about her insisting that her instructor verbalize what she is showing the class. Each time the instructor does not make a particular point verbally clear, she should immediately ask that the point be made verbally clear. Also, if any exams have diagrams in any answers to questions, I would suggest that you tell her to request that the instructor allow her to answer the question in written words rather than diagrams. Yes, we do live in a sighted world and need to do things in that medium as far as possible, however, the important thing is that we are able to understand as well as sighted people, the educational content of college classes.

Sent from my iPhone I have a blind client in therapy who is taking a health education class as a part of her community college curriculum. She is uncomfortable with the class discussion of sexuality particularly at times when the instructor is disgusting human sexual Biology utilizing PowerPoint presentation's. I am wondering if anyone knows of anatomically correct models and if so where she might obtain them. Alternatively I am considering the possibility that she might be able to scan the PowerPoint slides and then utilize a 3D printer to make models? Any help much appreciated – Karen Rose MFT
