Sexuality education for disabled children and youth in Ontario, Canada: Addressing epistemic injustice through school‐based sexuality education

Abstract

While conversations pertaining to school-based sexuality education are becoming more prominent, the experiences of disabled children and youth are still under-discussed in research. Despite disabled childhood studies emerging as a field of inquiry, there is still a lack of critical conversation pertaining to disabled students’ sexuality education within their respective schooling.
