This research aimed to ascertain instructors', educators', and school counselors' perceptions on teenage females with educable ID's sexual health. Participants in the present study were mothers, teachers, educators, and school counselors who were selected via purposive sampling in Isfahan from July 2017 to April 2018. Data were collected from via semistructured interviews, focus group discussions, and field notes, and analyzed using conventional content analysis.
