Why AAIDD: publication of rigorous academic journals; great networking opportunities for students
Why Intellectual Disability: I took a course in my undergraduate program on sexuality and disability. I was really interested in the rights issues, so started working at a local agency supporting individuals with I/DD. This opportunity led to my Master's and PhD work and where I am today!
