Abstract
An apparent critical educational need for students with mild disabilities is comprehensive sex education. However, few data are available to describe the competencies of special educators to deliver sex education to these youth. The purpose of this study was to replicate a previous study examining the extent that preservice and inservice training activities prepared special educators to deliver sex education and their perceived competence levels. The results indicated that special education personnel receive minimal instruction in the delivery of sex education, yet perceive themselves to have average competence for the delivery of the content. Implications for the results are discussed relative to personnel preparation and research issues.
