Abstract

Sexuality is presented as a taboo from heteronormal society, so the implications that sexual education can have in the various areas of occupation of children, adolescents and young people have been neglected. Leading to situations of occupational injustices, which would lead to a negative impact on the development and mental health of the child-youth population, due to abuse due to their sexual orientation, identity and / or gender expression in their main contexts of participation. Objective: Identify and publicize the possible approaches of occupational therapy in the sexual education of children, adolescents and young lesbians, gay, bisexual and trans. Methodology: A narrative bibliographic review is carried out in scientific databases; Pubmed, Ebsco, psycinfo, Medline (Ovid), BEIC, OTseeker and Cochrane. Results and analysis: 120 articles related to the subject are obtained, leaving 6, after the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conclusion: The need to have occupational therapists in educational institutions trained in the sexual area is highlighted, as they promote occupational justice, avoiding difficulties that impact on the mental health and quality of life of the child-youth population with sexual diversity , through interventions based on interest, dialogue, reflection and active participation, focusing on the real needs of the population, integrating new technologies, in order to grant them significant physical, social and virtual environments in which to learn.
