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 song has been used a great
deal by
learning disability nurses in the
North Wales Clinical Interest
Group and has since been
edited and changed as a result
of suggestions made by those
nurses.
We hope that professionals
working with the 14–16 age
range could also use this
song, possibly at the end of a
teaching session to recap on
the importance of safe sex,
giving a light touch that brings
a little fun to learning.
