Show Notes
This podcast comes with a little ears warning.
In this podcast we will be discussing themes around puberty and will be using language that may not be appropriate for little ears.
If you have a little person listening with you, we would suggest listening to this podcast in private.
On today’s episode of the Now and the Future Podcast, we chat with Ee-Lin from Planet Puberty to discuss puberty for people with an intellectual disability.
Puberty can be a confusing time for young people as well as parents. Changes to bodies and hormones can lead to behaviors and feelings that are foreign and a bit scary.
It is important to maintain an open and honest dialogue about what is happening, but that can be a bit trickier when your young person also has an intellectual disability.
Ee-Lin chats openly about strategies and resources that are available to help make this transition into young adulthood.
