I came across this through a link in an article today in the NY Times - it's information about puberty from the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center in Nashville that is geared toward specific student populations and their families and educators -- (1) students with intellectual disabilities and (2) students with autism.
There are separate guides for families of boys and girls with intellectual disabilities, which would also be useful for educators. Note the separate appendix with storyboards and visuals to use while implementing the methods outlined in the guide. The guides for students with intellectual disabilities are also available in Spanish.
Girls with intellectual disabilities

Boys with intellectual disabilities
