A reflective journal will successfully link the theory with personal experience through an interactive interpretation of reflected knowledge. My background experience as a trainee teacher for a boy with mild learning disabilities in my placement was about an incident related to Sex and Relationships. This occurrence constituted the starting point of my personal learning experience. Knowledge is the “weapon” you can use to overcome any barriers and evaluate actions and relationships. This essay focuses on the sexuality and the provision of Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) that children with Learning Disabilities (LD) receive in countries around the world and the objectives of SRE. Moreover, children with LD, through the benefits of adequate education, can recognise their sexual identity, fight for their needs and rights and eliminate undesirable consequences. Lastly, this assignment will support my professional practice that will not only try to ameliorate children’s educational lives but also empower my teaching skills in any similar situation in the future. \u0000 \u0000 Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":378693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Special Education Research","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128921618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used a development research methodology, which involved several complementary steps, including the analysis of existing e-moderation models and interviews with moderators of self-help groups in the area of Special Needs. The proposed e-moderation model presents a convergent approach to existing theoretical models and the practices and dynamics of mutual aid groups in the area of Special Needs. The development of this model has enabled the creation of an online community named Compartilha, that aims to promote the sharing of knowledge and resources among these education agents of children and young people with Special Needs. \u0000 \u0000Este artigo aborda o desenvolvimento de um modelo de e-moderação para uma comunidade online em Educação Especial, cujo objetivo é uma comunicação mais acessível entre famílias e profissionais de educação e saúde.

O modelo de e-moderação proposto apresenta uma abordagem convergente dos modelos teóricos existentes e das práticas e dinâmicas dos grupos de ajuda mútua no domínio das necessidades especiais.
