Abstract

Adolescents with intellectual disabilities are at increased risk of experiencing and displaying inappropriate sexual behaviours, while parents in culturally sensitive settings often lack adequate guidance for managing them. This study examined how Indonesian parents recognise and manage inappropriate sexual behaviours among adolescents with intellectual disabilities within culturally embedded contexts.
