Becoming You: Exploring sexuality and disability for pre-teens

This book shares information about sexuality that takes disability into account. It may be helpful for pre-teens, parents and others. The creation of this book was supported by the CHILD-BRIGHT Network, as part of Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) initiative, via the CHILD-BRIGHT [2021] KT Innovation Incubator grant competition (Grant title: Let’s go to the Library! Creating Digital Storybooks about Sexuality for Pre-teens with Disabilities). Additional support was provided by the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation. The book creation team would also like to recognize the Promoting a Future of Inclusive Healthy Lifestyles for Everyone Lab (ProFILE), Evidence to Care and the Bloorview Research Institute for their continued support of this work.
