The majority of Indonesian society still considers sex education is taboo, so the discussion about this being a rare topic discussed in the family. This can lead to a lack of understanding of the concept of sexuality in the minds of children, especially adolescents with mentally disabled who began to enter a period of puberty.

The method used is descriptive qualitative and data collection techniques conducted by interview and observation. The results obtained indicate that the parents have difficulty in conducting sex education, due to the lack of knowledge about the information to be provided and the proper delivery methods, and the limitations of parents in obtaining sources information and communities to share experiences, plus phenomenon of easy access to internet media that has the negative content in general in the community, increasing the problems faced by parents in providing sexual education to adolescents with mentally disabled.
