The AAIDD Young Professionals page was founded with the vision of providing a great web site synthesizing and organizing the multitude of information relevant to today's young researchers and professionals working in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Additionally, we hope to provide a site that connects the community of new and excited professionals together by use of the web blog, student and faculty profiles page, and future events.
This web page is managed and designed by members of the AAIDD Ad Hoc Committee on Student/Junior Membership and Retention.
We have some new sections ready for you now, with more on the way! So, get started…and let us know what you think!
