Target Group

CLEAR PATHS™ is designed for adolescents and adults (16+) with intellectual, developmental, or learning disabilities whose socio-sexual behaviour has resulted in concern, boundary violations, or system involvement, including:

• Socially inappropriate or misunderstood sexual behaviour

• Repeated supervision concerns or safeguarding alerts

• School, residential, community, or service-based incidents

• Police contact or early justice-system involvement where behaviour is better understood as vulnerability-, skill-, or developmentally driven

The program is appropriate where behaviour reflects gaps in knowledge, consent understanding, impulse regulation, or social boundaries, rather than entrenched offending patterns.
