Descriptive survey method was employed for the study on a sample of 60 adults (30 Parents and 30 Siblings) related to Persons with Intellectual Disability (PWID) above the age of 16 years. The Sexuality Perception Scale (SPS) was developed by the researcher to assess the perception of parents and siblings on sexuality among PWID. Three different statistical methods namely; mean, standard deviation and t-test were utilized. Results revealed that there was significant difference in areas pertaining to gender, age, and subject’s education, but there was no significant difference between the perception of siblings and parents. The subjects had minimal knowledge on safety against sexual exploitation of PWID. The findings thus, indicate that there is an urgent need for parents, caregivers and professionals to engage in sensitization programs on sex education for Persons with Intellectual Disability to help them lead safe and healthy adult lives.

I propose that answers to this question have gained little from incorporating culture as an explanation. There is little evidence that culture-oriented research published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management or in other management journals has substantially influenced strategy theory. Despite its value in explaining some macro- and micro-phenomena, the construct of culture has not improved understanding of firm strategy or performance. This leads to the general argument that culture has limited relevance for strategy.

It concerns a quality of education, which is partly determined by the individual pupils, the moment and the context. The study concerns bridging the gap between the special and typically developing peer group. A pre test and post test design was used to measure the levels of awareness amongst grade 7 students in Sunflower School, Secunderabad. Intervention was provided to the students which consisted of games, quizzes, audiovisual information and counselling. Findings suggest that an effective intervention package helps increase the awareness of disabilities amongst typically developing students. It is suggested for more schools to follow this approach in India so as to help students with disability enjoy a truly inclusive environment.
