Abstract: The study assessed sexuality health education management for secondary school students with intellectual disabilities in Thai specialized schools. It utilized a mixed-methods approach including a quantitative study via questionnaires and a qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews with teachers and experts. From use of the Priority Needs Index Modified (PNIModified) identification of the highest priority requirements showed that media characteristics understanding, media usage readiness, and content substance were most essential. Effective learning management requires easy-to-use media with stimulating visuals and understandable content. Teachers need expertise in media, teaching techniques, and technology. Results provide insights tailored for sexuality health education for students with intellectual disabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
