Teen Talk Adapted for All Abilities (TTAAA) is a comprehensive sexual health education curriculum designed to educate students ages 12-22 with various learning differences and support needs. The newly updated 2025 edition of this curriculum includes two sets of lessons: a 12-lesson course designed for students with mild to moderate support needs (MMSN) as well as 12 stand-alone “core” lessons designed for students with more extensive support needs (ESN). Teachers can choose to implement either or a combination of lessons, selecting appropriate content based on students’ age, needs, and abilities.
