Overview
Students with disabilities often miss out on comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), as they may have fewer opportunities to engage in meaningful learning experiences.
Providing the right education is essential for empowering them to lead safer, more fulfilling lives. The All Schools Disability Program offers comprehensive, tailored education for students with disabilities.
