- Abstract
We conducted a survey to identify the incidence of sexual behaviors among a community sample of children and adolescents with acquired brain injury (ABI). The survey was completed by professional staff at a residential pediatric neurorehabilitation setting and included behaviors observed directly during their employment tenure (1–6 years). The five highest ranked categories of sexual behaviors from a sample of 24 students were (1) masturbation, (2) sex talk, (3) attempted or actual ‘petting/fondling’;, (4) attempt to solicit sex, and (5) verbal sexual threat. Staff identified relatively few students who exhibited sexually coercive or aggressive behaviors. Clinical implications of the findings are discussed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
