Sexuality in Transition Planning: Annotated Bibliography
Stevenson, Bradley
National Technical Assistance Center on Transition
Sexuality has been defined as "companionship, friendship, sexual expression, sexual identity, and intimate relationships" (Bambara & Brantlinger, 2002). People with disabilities have many obstacles as they transition to adulthood, including developing and understanding their own sexuality (Sinclair, Unruh, Lindstrom, & Scanlon, 2015). These can include the perception individuals with disabilities have about their own sexuality, the perception of others regarding the sexuality of people with disabilities, and the knowledge of sexuality by individuals with disabilities among others. Sexuality in transition planning seeks to overcome this obstacles through explicit planning in order to more fully develop a student's sexuality. Many articles have been published on the topic of sexuality in transition planning. This annotated bibliography provides a reference and a brief synopsis of articles published on this topic. The articles are divided into two basic categories. The first is "Journals or Special Issues." This group consists of (1) journals dedicated to the topic of sexuality; or (2) special issues of other journals that are dedicated to the topic. The second category consists of articles appearing in various publications that are not dedicated exclusively to this topic. [This bibliography was originally prepared for the National Secondary Transition Technical Assistance Center (NSTTAC) by Audrey Bartholomew in 2011. It was updated in 2015 by Bradley Stevenson.]
