The 21st Seattle Club Conference, hosted by King’s College London, will bring together researchers in intellectual and developmental disabilities to share new knowledge, stimulate discussion, and generate ideas for future research. The focus this year is on health inequalities and avoidable deaths in people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and on advances in inclusive and participatory research.    

In keeping with the Seattle Club tradition, all delegates will be active researchers and will present their findings at the conference. There will be just one session so that everyone can attend all of the talks.  

These days, more teams doing research about intellectual and developmental disabilities have co-researchers with lived experiences who do not come from university backgrounds.  We want to make sure that these co-researchers feel welcome.  Therefore we are asking you to submit an Easy Read version of your abstract and consider ways of presenting your study that will be most meaningful to a diverse audience.   

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in December!
