The Equity Agenda in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research

Khalilah Robinson Johnson. Am J Intellect Dev Disabil. .

Abstract

This commentary on Kover and Abbeduto (2023) underscores the critical importance of naming and framing toward an equity agenda in intellectual and developmental disabilities research. More specifically, I briefly outline (1) why racialization is an important anchor in IDD discourse; (2) whiteness as a necessary point of discussion; and (3) the adoption of critical inquiry and critical praxis.

Keywords: IDD; critical inquiry; equity; racialization; racism.
