Content warning: Mature themes discussed.
In this episode, Shawn welcomes guests Keisha and Ellis and the three dive deep into the often-overlooked topic of sexual health and sex education for individuals who are blind or have low vision. Challenging the misconception that people with disabilities are non-sexual, this candid conversation explores the unique challenges faced by visually impaired individuals in learning about their bodies, relationships, and sexual well-being. They discuss the gaps in traditional sex education for blind and partially sighted students, thoughts about creating more inclusive and accessible sexual health resources and practical advice for parents, educators, and young people with visual impairments.
