dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: Whilst suffering from and being identified as a cerebral palsy quadriplegic, my master’s research study lies in the interests of sexuality education for learners and young adults with physical disabilities. In conducting an ethnographic study of participants from the age of 21 to 30 years and their memories of Life Orientation from the angle of sexuality education for young adults with physical disabilities, this study investigates how sexuality education, or the lack thereof for my participants, leads to their oppression, marginalisation and how they navigate issues of sexuality and disability, together with the intersection of these two social issues. The literature review is divided into three parts, investigating the role of inclusive education, sexuality education in the international context, and the South African context for learners with disabilities. A combination of grounded theory and thematic analysis is utilised in this study, generating data together with participants as co-producers. Presentation of findings and analysis feature the relevant themes with an in-depth discussion. This research investigates relevant themes featured in the construction of disability and sexuality for participants, whilst acknowledging themselves as sexual beings. This simultaneously highlights visibilising sexuality and disability, whilst raising the urgent need for an improved sexuality education curriculum to suit the specific needs of learners with physical disabilities. This study concludes with implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research.en_ZA
