POLANCO VALENZUELA, Mauricio e MARTIN AYALA, Juan Luis. Knowledge, attitudes and practices of families of teenagers with cognitive disabilities in sexuality and affectivity. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.2, pp.187-199. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2017.0002.04.
This article starts from the reflection that there is violation of the rights of people with disabilities, not knowing that sexuality and affectivity are also fundamental in their lives and make up the exercise of Sexual and Reproductive Rights; however, significant progress has been achieved for its recognition as rights holders and generated multiple norms that claim for ownership and guarantee of them; nevertheless, advanced studies in Colombia and in the world, evidence the persistence of barriers based on lack of awareness, discrimination and false beliefs about these aspects of people with disabilities. The interest of the study was to investigate through a survey by the knowledge, attitudes and practices of parents and caregivers of teenagers with cognitive disabilities of a specialized educational institution of Bogotá so that the results contribute to strengthen the abilities of the families and the institutions with pedagogical actions that promote the guarantee of rights and the improvement of the quality of life of this population.
