About CARE-ID

Welcome to the Canadian Association for Research and Education in Intellectual Disabilities (CARE-ID) Web Site. Our Business plan and By-Laws are available through the "Documents" link on the sidebar on the left side of the screen.

Remember this date: Oct 10, 2008 for our Annual General Meeting. We are holding our meeting in conjunction with the St Amant Conference on Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities and Autism, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For those of you who are not able to attend this excellent conference in person, we will be arranging for a webconference connection that will allow you to attend the AGM from your location. The invitation for the AGM webconference will be sent to CARE-ID/ACREDI members by e-mail at the beginning of October. If you have not received an invitation, we may not have your e-mail address. Contact us at careid@queensu.ca to update us. If you want to become a member of CARE-ID/ACREDI click on the Membership link (in the sidebar) for an application form and mail this, with your dues and e-mail address, to CARE-ID/ACREDI (the address is on the form).

Several members of CARE-ID/ACREDI will be presenting at the St Amant conference, including Susan Morris, who will conduct a workshop on the Canadian Advocacy Toolkit being developed with the support of CARE-ID/ACREDI.

We are continuing in our dialogue between NADD, CARE-ID and the Mental Health Commission of Canada.  Watch this site for updates of this discussion.
