Curriculum Highlights





Understanding Self
and Body
Explore your body and its changes with confidence in a sex-positive and community-informed environment. Learn about anatomy, puberty, and personal hygiene while understanding and asserting your rights through body autonomy. This comprehensive approach empowers you to foster respect for yourself and others.
​
Interpersonal Relationships
and Social Skills
Master the inclusive skills needed to navigate a variety of relationships. Understand the distinctions between friendships, romantic connections, and sexual relationships. Gain evidence-based communication skills and learn to identify healthy versus unhealthy dynamics in a way that fosters personal growth and respect.
​
Navigating Social Contexts
Confidently handle social situations with an informed perspective, from dating to managing your social media presence. Learn evidence-based behaviors for public and private settings, and recognize red flags to navigate social interactions safely and responsibly.
​
Sexual Health
and Behavior
Empower yourself with comprehensive knowledge about sexual health. Our inclusive, sex-positive curriculum covers sexual feelings, safe sex practices, STI prevention, and pregnancy options, helping you make informed decisions about your sexual well-being.
​
Sexual Safety
and Advocacy
Learn to recognize and respond to abuse, harassment, and trafficking with a focus on community well-being. Our evidence-based curriculum equips you with the tools to seek help, advocate for yourself, and support others, enhancing personal safety within a broader, inclusive community.
​
Ethical Considerations
Understand your legal rights and responsibilities through a comprehensive and evidence-based approach. Gain insights into age of consent laws, legal protections, and advocacy techniques to confidently navigate and protect your rights.
Accessibility
and Inclusivity
Our curriculum is fully inclusive and accessible, incorporating tools for nonverbal learners such as communication boards and flip charts, ensuring everyone can engage. Interactive tools, anatomical models, and easy-to-understand graphics make learning comprehensive and accessible to all.
It would be wise to embrace the concept that adults who are developmentally disabled hit every spot on the sexual identity continuum, from straight to gay, cis to trans, sexual to asexual, romantic to not romantic, and more. Therefore, informing individuals about the gamut of sexual health and autonomy is essential if true inclusion is to be achieved. Most standard sex education curricula concentrate more on heterosexual aspects and on the negative aspects of sexuality (HIV, STDs, unwanted pregnancy, assault), without thorough coverage of identity or safety issues.
