Between 39 and 68% of MR/DD girls will experience some form of sexual abuse by the time they are 18. Forty-eight percent of the perpetrators will be paid caregivers. With this interactive CD-ROM, female students learn four important concepts that lead to a safety rule that will help them identify, avoid, and escape an abusive situation with a paid caregiver.
In the first lesson, viewers identify what is termed “the red zone”—a region between the breasts and upper thighs similar to the “strike zone” in baseball. (They click a “thumbs up” button to register a “yes” and “thumbs down” to register a “no.”) Once students can accurately recognize in- or out-of red zone touching, they are taught the skill of distinguishing between staff, nonstaff, and medical personnel. Having mastered that, in the third lesson students are taught to distinguish between sexual touching, necessary medical touching, and unnecessary touching. In the fourth lesson, viewers put the skills together to understand the “rule” that physical contact by staff is unnecessary unless medically required. Students are also taught strategies for getting help as recommended by law enforcement officials who work with perpetrators of sexual abuse.
