I believe it is essential that sexual education is taught in IEP; we need to teach the disabled things like understanding their own boundaries, consent, and sex. For one, not teaching sexual education dehumanizes the disabled—disabled adults are humans who are sexual beings, so disabled children need to learn the same types of things the abled bodied children are taught, like it’s okay to say no, and how to have safe sex. Secondly, and maybe most importantly, the current statistics of crime against the disabled are staggering. According to The Autism Society, the disabled are at the highest risk of sexual violence, and are victimized ten times as often as someone without a disability. Could sexual education in IEP lower those statistics? Let’s find out.
