Puberty can feel like a brave new world, or even a whole new planet – and for children with disability, there can be unique issues to address. Planet Puberty is an online resource designed to help parents and carers of children with intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder navigate the changes to their bodies, emotions and social interactions occurring during adolescence.
A range of inclusive and accessible digital resources is available including factsheets, videos and useful books that cover everything a child needs to know as they go through puberty, including information about body changes, hygiene, periods, emotions and relationships.
