Personal, Social and Health Education for Young People with Learning Disabilities
through music and song
Songs by musician and registered nurse
The songs you can hear on this website are designed to help a person with a learning disability learn about personal, social and health education and sexual health.
The songs are appropriate for a range of ages – each song has its age-relevance.
Click on a menu item to the left to hear samples of the songs. To buy the CD and activities book for educators, please click on the Songs for Your Body title at the head of this page.
This is a sample of the full song on the CD.
It is not appropriate to
teach using the real thing;
professionals have to rely on
synthetic testicles that can be
passed round for everyone to
have a feel.
The song is aimed at all men,
whether they have a learning
disability or not, and written a
bit ‘tongue in cheek’ alongside a
light and catchy tune. Listening
to the song should allow a man
to understand the importance
of checking himself carefully
and regularly without anybody
directing that information
towards him personally.
The song could possibly
be used at the end of a
learning session to review the
information.
