Summary
One of the primary benefits of assistive
technology use for students who are visually im-
paired is instant access to printed information.
This access to printed information should not be
restricted in content; it should instead include top-
ics such as human sexuality whenever appropri-
ate. We have provided several suggestions to
leverage the vast array of accessible books for
the purposes of sex education of students who
are visually impaired. In today's high-tech world, it
is the responsibility of teachers and parents to
provide students who are visually impaired with
safe forums for acquiring reliable and trusted in-
formation about sex.
