Cost

It is important that responsible, inclusive sex ed is accessible to everyone, so we have a tiered tuition structure. If your organization truly cannot cover full tuition, that's cool. Please sign up anyhow.

  • Tier One: No cost, same great program

  • Tier Two: $20 (covers some of the cost)

  • Tier Three: $45 (covers a little more than half the cost)

  • Tier Four: $75 (completely covers the cost)

The workshop

This workshop is designed for sex ed and family life educators who want to make their programs more accessible to people with a variety of disabilities, particularly autistic people and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

It is normal to feel uncertain of how best to facilitate classes for people with IDD or autistic folx; most trainings center neurotypical people. The great news is that adding this skill and these understandings to your toolbox will allow you to be a more affirming, inclusive facilitator for all participants..

“Accessible Sex Ed” also covers how to talk with caregivers about the importance of complete, fact-based education for all people, especially neurodiverse folx.
