There are a number of organisations partnering with IASSID to make this a significant event on the international scientific calender. These include the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC), the Asia Pacific Down Syndrom Federation and the Australian Association of Doctors in Developmental Disability Medicine.
There are also many regional and local service providers working together, as part of our efforts to ensure that the conference provides a mechanism to promote 'research to practice' and that practice issues inform and influence the research agenda of the scientific community.

This event will take place across the 4 days of the conference; bringing together scientists, practitioners and people with disability to establish and implement a research to practice agenda for the region.
