The Birds and the Bees: Teaching Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education
Curtiss, Sarah L.
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v51 n2 p134-143 Nov-Dec 2018
The United States has a long, complicated history with sex education as, often, different stakeholders advocate dissimilar educational frameworks (Irvine, 2004). Although controversies remain in defining the boundaries of sex education, there is a movement both nationally and internationally to define sex education comprehensively (Haberland & Rogow, 2015). However there are often barriers to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) receiving comprehensive sexuality education (Stinson, Christian, & Dotson, 2002). Although all states are involved at some level in providing sex education to public school children (National Conference of State Legislators, 2016), youth with IDD are often precluded from receiving comprehensive sexuality education. This article is meant to be a guide for providing human sexuality instruction to individuals with IDD.
