Recommendation 28:
Social workers should be required to discuss with adoptive parents any concerns they have about their parenting capacity. They should proactively inquire about how a person with a disability intends to deal with parenting challenges presented by their disability, and they should take note of the accommodations and modifications the prospective adoptive parent will require in order to parent effectively. The capacity of the prospective adoptive parent to implement those accommodations and modifications, and the available government support, should also be considered.

Schools must ensure that all students, including students with disabilities, receive comprehensive, evidence-based sexual education. This will require that materials be accessible and may require the development of materials in alternative formats and presentation (e.g. Braille, simplified diagrams, etc.).
