American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD)

The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) is a U.S.-based professional association that organizes an Annual Meeting (conference) focused on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). AAIDD's conferences bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates to present research, policy, and practice related to IDD across the lifespan. While AAIDD specializes in disability services (IDD) rather than the broader umbrella of all human/social services (child welfare, aging services, public assistance, or APHSA-specific topics), its annual meeting and partner conferences are directly relevant to disability services and intersect with related human services issues (policy, aging, child development, workforce).
