Beverley LeBlanc, representing the Circle of Friends, took center stage at the Caribbean Disability Conference held at the Wyndham Hotel in Barbados from October 17 to 22. LeBlanc showcased a groundbreaking exhibit featuring an activity book in Braille and social stories developed by educators, designed to revolutionize inclusive sexual health education for individuals with disabilities. The initiative underscores the importance of providing comprehensive, age-appropriate, and empowering sexual health information tailored to the needs of the disabled community. The exhibit garnered significant attention, with Guyana expressing immediate interest in adopting these innovative resources. LeBlanc emphasized the critical role of regional collaboration in advancing inclusive education and ensuring equitable access to accurate information for all learners. Looking ahead, teacher training workshops are planned for the coming year to promote the widespread implementation of these tools in schools and community settings across the Caribbean.
