Abstract

We respond to the recommendations made by Kover and Abbeduto in their article, “Toward Equity in Research on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities,” through the discussion of what journal editors should be considering in advancing equitable processes for research with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We provide practical suggestions from our experience as co-editors in promoting diversity in research partnerships with people with IDD.
