IASSID Fellow Nominations

Fellowship in IASSID is recognition by peers in the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disabilities of outstanding contributions in the field of intellectual disabilities. This recognition comes at varying points of a member's career and outstanding activities are as diverse as contributions to our greater knowledge of intellectual disabilities through research, public service, teaching or education, practice and significant participation in the Association.

IASSID Fellows are members who have earned distinction by their scientific or practical contribution to the field of intellectual disabilities or by their dedication to the affairs of the Association. The title "Fellow of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disabilities" shall be given for the life of the recipient and may be abbreviated as F.IASSID.

A list of IASSID Fellows can be found on the IASSID website: IASSID Fellows.

Fellowship is granted upon nomination by members. All individuals accepted for IASSID Fellowship are confirmed by the General Assembly meeting at the World Congress. The next General Assembly will convene in July 2012. The Nominee must meet at least two of the following five criteria:

  • Have made an important contribution to the application of scientific knowledge to aiding people with intellectual disabilities and/or their families.
