Publications
OADD publishes the Journal to foster and promote thoughtful and critical dialogue about relevant issues in the field of developmental disabilities, including those broader social issues that impact on persons with developmental disabilities.
The Journal on Developmental Disabilities addresses an international audience and international concerns. However, it is the only English language academic journal published in Canada in the field of developmental disabilities, and thus also highlights Canadian trends and research.
