Themes & Aims:
This year's conference invites submissions that explore the multifaceted nature of our two themes:

• Working with systems
• Research to practise links-bridging the gap

We encourage innovative approaches that challenge conventional thinking and propose new solutions.

We want to engage with a range of views; relevant topics could include:

• The impact of societal attitudes and stigma on individuals with intellectual disabilities
• The role of systemic barriers in accessing quality healthcare and education
• The intersection of systemic oppression and disability
• Systemic Approaches to Supporting Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities
• Family-centred approaches to support
• The role of technology in supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities
• Working with paid carers
• Research to practise links-bridging the gap
• Examples of large or small-scale clinically relevant research
• Ways of developing practice- based research
• Supporting clinicians' involvement in research.

While we encourage submissions related to our theme, our discussions will be far broader and cover a number of varying topics.
