Any form of support directed toward the establishment of self-determined sexuality and family planning of persons with impairments demands the full recognition of the individuality and autonomy of persons with impairments – as well as self-reflection with regard to one’s own sexuality. With respect to sexuality education this means
- that People with impairments should not be viewed as a homogeneous group.
- Disability itself should not be treated as a special theme, but as a cross-sectional topic from sexuality education.
Seen from this vantage point, sexuality education is directed toward respecting the variations in human life – present both in people and their life circumstances – and approaching the themes that result from these variations.
