Neurodivergent Inclusive Sexual Health Education
RAISE is Committed to Providing Education That Empowers and Uplifts Neurodivergent Individuals.
Clear, Concise Communication
We use concrete language and avoid slang or vague phrases. Lessons are structured step-by-step, with visual supports and real-world examples to make complex topics easy to understand. Students are encouraged to ask questions in ways that feel comfortable to them.
Understanding & Support
Every young person learns best when their environment works for them. Before starting sessions, I hold a consultation call with the parent or caregiver to learn about the student’s unique needs and preferences. During lessons, I make space for breaks, allow adjustments to things like lighting or sound, and support any accommodations that help the student feel comfortable and focused.
Shame-Free Zone
Many neurodivergent individuals have had negative or confusing experiences around sex ed. In my sessions, curiosity is welcomed and no question is too awkward. I foster a nonjudgmental environment where people feel safe exploring topics like consent, identity, relationships, and sexuality—without fear or embarrassment.
What We Will Explore
Every session is personalized to match the learner’s age, comfort level, and goals. Some of the areas we may cover include:
Bodies, Gender & Media
Understanding how media portrayals of bodies, sexuality and gender can impact our understandings of our own.Sex, Power & Pleasure
Exploring how power dynamics can play a role in pleasure and consent.Sexual Identity & Expression
Learning about the wide range of ways to express our sexuality, emphasizing safety and trust.The Nuances of Consent
Understanding how to give, get, and respect consent in real-life situations.
These sessions are adapted to meet the unique needs of neurodivergent youth and adults—offering clear communication, flexibility, and a safe, shame-free space to learn. See the “Services” tab for more potential topic areas.
Age Ranges
We offer educational sessions beginning at age 10, all the way through young adulthood and beyond. Content will be fully customized to meet the specific needs of each individual.
Making Sex Ed Accessible for Neurodivergent Students
