Nelson, NZ HealthClick 2014Description: CD-ROM colour.Subject(s): PUBERTY | ADOLESCENCE | CHANGE | BODY AWARENESS | SEX INFORMATION | SOCIAL STORIESSummary: "Puberty Changes CD Rom is an educational resource about the physical and emotional aspects of puberty for boys and girls growing up. It’s a comprehensive, safe and interactive CD Rom packed with information about body changes and emotional changes through the puberty years. Puberty Changes CD Rom is for young people aged 10 – 14 in primary, intermediate and secondary schools who are going through, or are about to go through, the immense changes brought by puberty. Many students find it difficult to believe adults understand what’s going on in their lives; this is why every voice heard on the CD Rom is someone the students’ age, which we’ve found through experience with Sex Smart has a huge impact on young people. It can also be used by parents, for example for home schooling. Like Sex Smart, it provides particularly valuable peer education for young people who may be socially isolated, such as students with Asperger’s Syndrome or autism. The CD Rom does not introduce students to sexual content that they are not ready for, which is covered in our companion CD Rom Sex Smart." - PUBLISHER'S WEBSITEItem type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |

Some of the language would be confusing to our students. Needed to adapt.
