The number of children in the groups will be analyzed based on another study in which one of the scales to be used in the study. According to the calculations made in the G-Power 3.1 Demo package program, when the effect size is accepted as 0.8, it was seen that at least 24 cases in each group (total 48 children) would be sufficient for 80% power. These children will be selected from 48 children who got the least score from the "Sexual Development Characteristics of Adolescent Children with Intellectual Disability Scale". In this way, the criteria sampling method will be used. In this way, the criteria sampling method will be used. Anticipated duration is one year.

- Being between the ages of 12-18
- Having mild to moderate mental disability
- Parent's agreement to participate in research
- Lack of speech and vision impairment
- Completing all trainings and follow-ups during the research period
For intervention group:
Once enrolled and consent is documented, eligible subject's will participate in the study for approximately three months. Participants will be expected to attend 8 training sessions over a two months period, each are up to half hours in length. Follow-up will be made at the beginning of the training, right after the last training and one month after the last training after the questionnaire.
