Hand Made Love. A guide for teaching about male masturbation through understanding and video by Dave Hingsburger
		Order code: 05-MD002 Price: £28.00 Format: 16 mins DVD & 280x215mm 55pp paperback guidebook set This DVD video is a welcome addition to the field of sex education with people who have disabilities that hinder learning. Unlike many masturbation tapes, this one places the act of self pleasure in context. Steve, the narrator, discusses privacy, pleasure and the realities of sharing living spaces with others. He also talks about sex and desire. While setting the stage to demonstrate masturbation, he speaks in plain language that is fully respectful of the needs of the viewer. As the discussion becomes more private there are opportunities for the viewer to decide if they would like to continue watching or stop. The guidebook discusses masturbation from the point of health and pleasure. Dave writes about both systemic issues and the right of the individual to privacy. He uses examples to illustrate his points and suggests ways to build healthy environments for adults. The book also includes a consultation on masturbation for clinical staff. Suggestions are made as to how to use the video in teaching about such a private topic.

Hints for Graphic Facilitators by Jack Pearpoint
		Order code: 02-B024 Price: £12.50 Format: 275 x 215 mm 47pp paperback This book is an introduction to graphic facilitation. If you are curious, nervous, terrified, or even better just want to try graphics on for size, this is the book for you. The underlying assumption is that we all have this gift, and we just need to remember how we did it when we were children. Thus, it includes beginning steps, and has hundreds of images that you can build on. Most are very simple, but colour panels also demonstrate how felt pens and pastel crayons can make everyone's work lively and colourful. If you are working in Person Centred Planning in its many forms, MAPS, PATH, Circles, and more, and wondering about the graphics you need, you need this book. You can do this. Get the book. Try it. You'll like it.
