Lunch & Learn: Consent & Assent in IDD Research from Family and Researcher Perspectives

We are excited to invite you to a lunch and learn panel on Consent & Assent in IDD Research from Family and Researcher Perspectives. This event will feature a panel of experts, researchers, and family members who will share their insights on IRB assent and consent procedures, assent in children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and the lived experience of family members who participate in research. We aim to foster meaningful conversations that deepen our understanding of ethical considerations in research with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We hope you will join us for this important discussion.
