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.
The idea for the song originates
from the Keepsafe Project in
the Wrexham area. The project
focuses on issues to do with
inappropriate touching and
invading a person’s personal
space. The three verses in the
song use key words such as
‘touch’, ‘push’ and ‘bully’ and are
intended to send a message that
can be understood by a person
with a learning disability.
