In this episode, Dr. Maria Lepore-Stevens, from Rowan University, shares how she’s expanding health education within the realm of disability. In this discussion, we explore the concept of "adapted" health education in relation to teaching health education and students with disabilities. Dr. Lepore-Stevens points out the lack of guidance in health education around teaching children with disabilities and the importance of this curriculum for children with disabilities. In addition, she discusses challenges in adapting health education curricula, the lack of inclusive sex ed, the importance of teaching consent and self-advocacy, as well as how inadequate health education fails to provide students with disabilities with a well-rounded education.
