Oak Hill’s Center for Relationship & Sexuality Education (CRSE) offers a curriculum for teens that addresses the root causes of widespread sexual abuse and other related issues experienced by the IDD community.

Excerpts
“I have been facilitating groups on sexual health at our school using the Positive Choices curriculum. It has been very well received by the students and provided a safe space for them to address questions and concerns regarding sexuality and relationships, helping them to avoid risky situations and it has resulted in an increased understanding of their bodies and feelings. This is a curriculum that is accessible for many individuals with special needs and addresses many facets of sexual health and human development, a topic that can often be difficult for educators to address.” – Clinician
