This area of learning can be confusing to those with FASD – but thankfully, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa (formerly Family Planning NZ) have created an excellent resource to use alongside the curriculum for those teaching or caring for intermediate and secondary students with learning disabilities, including FASD. Parents and whānau may also find this resource helpful.
The Colours of Sexuality brochure provides a framework for educators and caregivers to use alongside the RSE curriculum in schools for young people who may need extra support in understanding some of the concepts.
