For Those With Disabilities, the End of Abuse Comes With the Start of Sex Ed

Curbing this, according to an article from NPR, starts with better education during Sex Ed classes. Michael Gill, a Professor in Syracuse’s School of Education, was quoted in this article.

“If people know what sexual assault is,” Gill said, “they become empowered in what is sexuality and what they want in sexuality.”
