This list of sex education and puberty books for children with a disability has been compiled for the parents who reach out to me, looking for children’s books that are suitable for their child with a disability.

Teachers Pay Teachers also have affordable teaching eResources that can be adapted by parents. The United Kingdom site TES also has low-priced eResources to print and download.

If you need help getting started with sex education, then I have an extensive resources list for sex education resources for kids with an intellectual or developmental disability. As well as separate lists for Autism & sexuality,  ADHD and sexuality and FASD and sexuality.

If you’re looking for a book on a different topic, look at my main list of sex education books for children. It includes over 40+ topics!

You’ll also find more information about sex education on my Sex Education 101 page.

Sex education and puberty books for children with a disability

You’ll find an age-specific list of children’s books written for children with a disability. All of the books for these children are currently showing.

All of the ages are visible, regardless of whether they’re relevant (or not). If no books appear for your chosen age, then it means there aren’t any relevant books.

To find relevant books for your child’s age, click on their age, and the appropriate books will appear.

NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading it with them, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. Try to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.

Find practical tools to educate kids about sex education in the Sex Ed Shop

These are some of the many sex education books that have been written for children and young people with a disability. As I find more, I will add them to this list. They are all really good books that kids can read to find reliable and accurate information about love, sex and relationships.

Oh, and please do let me know if you know of a book to be added to this list!

Happy reading!
