Welcome to the 12th European Conference on psychological theory and research on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities!
ECIDD was first established in 1996 in Aix-en-Provence (France) under the name PTRMR. The main themes of this conference are psychological aspects of intellectual and related developmental disabilities. This biennial conference offers a forum for the exchange of findings in psychological fundamental and applied research on intellectual and developmental disabilities.
