Learn Yourself Online has the website onlineflirten.steffie.nl developed. A website specifically for people with intellectual disabilities, where they learn about flirting and sexting online in an accessible way. Experienced experts from the Ipse de Bruggen health institution helped make the explanation on the website. This was reported by the Dutch Disability Care Association (VGN).
Relationships, intimacy and sexuality should also be something that can be taken for granted for people with intellectual disabilities. Healthy sexual development contributes to a better quality of life and better resilience. Due to the increase in dating fraud and extortion of people with intellectual disabilities, it is important to pay special attention to this.
Accessible information
Thanks to the experience of the Ipse de Bruggen experts, adequate information on relationships, sexuality and intimacy has been developed. They shared their experiences and participated in the development of the website, so that the navigation and the texts are understandable and accessible.
To who onlineflirten.steffie.nl meets Steffie, a virtual staff who talks about flirting and sexting online in an accessible way. If someone gets an annoying message about sex, Steffie also knows what to do. Anyone who wants to start a conversation with you about receiving and sending messages can do so on the website as well.
