In order to overcome the current constraints to learning about proper condom use by this wide range of special needs college students who may have individualized constraints to learning, an appropriate approach must be developed that can adequately communicate the importance of the practice as well as the mechanics that are involved. To this end, Evanciew (2003) reports that, "Research suggests that students with special needs benefit from experiences that involve functional, hands-on learning" (p. 7). Therefore, the approach described further below can help special needs college students learn both the importance of proper condom use as well as the mechanics that are involved in applying them.
Objectives
The objectives of this initiative are two-fold as follows:
1. To promote a greater understanding of the importance of proper condom use among special needs college students; and,
2. To provide hands-on opportunities for them to learn how to apply the devices appropriately using life-like phallic models.
Materials and Resources
This initiative requires the use of the following materials and resources:
1. An adequate supply of commercially available condoms;
2. A free-standing life-like phallic model with a base that can be secured to a flat surface;
3. Handouts containing illustrations of the proper application of condoms; and,
4. Handouts containing information concerning the dangers involved in engaging in unprotected sex; these handouts should also be prepared in Braille for sight-impaired and blind special needs students.
Target Audience
The target audience of this initiative is all special needs students attending colleges or universities in the United States.
Procedure
The procedure used in this initiative is straightforward and involves a preliminary but pragmatic discussion concerning the need to use condoms if and when special needs students engage in sexual activity. The incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV / AIDS, will be described, as well as the potential consequences of unplanned pregnancies. Following...
Demonstrating proper condom application methods using phallic model
Source: Avert, 2010
The proper methods involved in opening the condom packaging and placing the condom on the phallic model by rolling it completely down the model will then be demonstrated. In the event there are hearing impaired and deaf students in attendance, arrangements to have an American Sign Language translator available should also be made.
Assessment Technique
All workshop attendees will have the opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency in completing the condom application procedure described above. Accommodations should also be made for special needs students with orthopedic impairments or other types of disabilities that prevent them from performing the condom application as demonstrated.

Furthermore, when groups began people naturally turned to the group leader for direction and advice. It would be accurate to state that most of the relating was to the group leader at that point. However, by exercising linking behavior, I was able to get the group members to look to each other for understanding and help. Initially, I had to point out when people were saying things that would indicate
