In the literature we find that the sexual development of adolescents with moderate intellectual disability (hereinafter referred to as moderate ID) is an important part of growing up, their basic need and the right, that is the key to enriching the quality of life. In the wider social circle, it is still a taboo subject, laced with prejudice and stereotypes that, due to the intellectual deficit, they do not think about themselves and their bodies, they have no feelings, desires and needs for an intimate closeness. This is not the case; in sexual maturation, they do not differ from peers of characteristic development. Many authors find that sexual information is often inaccessible to them, presented to them too demandingly and incomprehensibly, they have fewer opportunities for sexual education and support in providing for needs and rights in this field, and consequently they are more vulnerable and more often sexually abused. In the theoretical part, we presented the characteristics of moderate ID. We focused on the historical overview of the responses to the sexuality of adolescents with moderate ID, described their sexual development and forms of sexual behaviour, defined the right to sexuality, and highlighted the views of their parents, professionals and the wider society. We presented in greater detail the position of sexual education in the special education program, defined the objectives of the subject area Intimate Life and Sexuality and described the easy-to-read method that we introduced in the empirical part. We presented the characteristics of the easy-to-read method, the Slovenian rules for the preparation of easy-to-read and comprehensible texts, and the reading levels of easy-to-read for adult readers. In the empirical part we presented a case study. The sample included ten adolescents with moderate ID aged 14 to 21, included in the 3rd, 4th and 5th levels of the special education program. We conducted a four week sex education using the easy-to-read texts in four booklets: Life of a Woman, Life of a Man, Love, Sex and Me, and Sexual Violence. We compared the level of knowledge before and after the education about sexuality with easy-to-read method, during the course of education we observed and analyzed reading motivation of readers at various reading levels and determined whether the easy-to-read method will increase the knowledge and whether they will remember the contents of the selected topic. The results of the research have shown that learning with the easy-to-read method is effective, and the knowledge of adolescents in the field of sexuality has increased. They were most motivated to watch the images of selected content, followed by listening to read and reading booklets in the easy-to-read mode.
