Because
over 3% of the United States population is labeled
mentally challenged, there must be educational
resources available to them. To help them become
responsible members of their communities, their
rights to social and sexual expression must be
recognized and addressed through responsible educational
programs such as these videos.

Welcome
to the home page of Choices,
Inc., the producer of three
fine educational videos on the
topic of sexuality education!
Choices, Inc. has been
founded on the premise that
information leads to wiser
decisions!
You
might have come here because
you have a son or daughter
who is having job difficulties
because of inappropriate remarks;
you might be a caregiver who
wants to give basic information
about menstrual hygiene to
the women in your care; or,
you as a parent feel isolated
and fearful about your adult
child's desire to date. This
is the place for you! Our videos
will show you parents, professionals,
and adolescents and young adults
with disabilities dealing head-on
with these issues. You will
realize you are not alone!
And, more importantly, you
will be reassured that persons
with cognitive limitations
can learn and want to learn,
if encouraged and if the materials
are relevant to their needs
and capabilities.
Choices,
Inc. has produced three
videos which offer learning
opportunities and information,
leading to wiser decisions and
safer, more fulfilling lives
for adolescents and adults.
Targeting citizens with special
cognitive challenges, caregivers,
professionals, family and friends,
the videos have won national
and international awards. Each
video is accompanied by a Discussion
Guide highlighting the issues
and suggesting questions and
formats for viewing and discussion
groups. [learn
