New journal for the Australasian Society for Intellectual Disability (ASID). Entitled Research and Practice in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (RAPIDD), this new peer-reviewed journal will inform the design and delivery of support that is critical for people with intellectual disability and their families, to participate in community life and be included by mainstream service systems. Of interest to disability service organisations, advocacy groups, health and community services, policy makers, program designers, practitioners and researchers alike, the journal will serve to disseminate research in the field, encouraging its translation and relevance to practice and policy, whilst also generating informed debate on important contemporary issues. RAPIDD will identify pressing research questions, addressing the Australian context as well as comparative perspectives. A core focus of the journal will be the pursuit of a more inclusive society for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are now receiving submissions and welcome contributions that reflect our goals and objectives. The journal will publish original research, concise reviews of contemporary research or literature, as well as critical or descriptive analysis of policy and programs. We shall also look to publish evaluative case studies illustrating application of research to practice, as well as conceptual papers that bring new ideas or theoretical perspectives to the field of intellectual and developmental disability. tandfonline/rpid
