(Re) Thinking Sex Education for wheelchair users

By Débora Araújo Leal

Discussions relating to sex education and the inclusion of people with special educational needs in schools emerged at the beginning of the 20th century, and only in the 1980s did they become urgent due to the changes that had taken place in society, such as the high rates of teenage pregnancy and the increase in the number of HIV cases. There is still little discussion about the sexuality of people with special educational needs, either in the special education environment (special schools or special classes) or in the mainstream education environment, considering the country's political choice to build inclusive education systems. Various authors have argued that every person with special educational needs is whole in their sexuality. That is, regardless of the possible limitations and complications that may occur in sexual manifestation, no one becomes asexual because of a physical, sensory or mental disability.
