Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research: Success Through Inclusion and Equity

Harolyn M E Belcher et al. Am J Intellect Dev Disabil. .

Abstract

"Toward Equity in Research on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities" (IDD) is a timely and comprehensive article highlighting gaps in the "dominant culture" approach to current research strategies designed to address IDD. Recentering systems involved in the research enterprise are recommended. This commentary provides additional guidance from a social justice, equity, and inclusion lens, including a clinical anthropology approach to research.

Keywords: equity; intellectual and developmental disabilities; research.
