It has been a pleasure putting this last edition for the year<br />
together. Co-editing highlighted the varied and important<br />
contribution <strong>ASID</strong> makes to the field of intellectual disability.<br />
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the <strong>Dec</strong>ember issue<br />
of <strong>IDA</strong>.<br />
Congratulations to the South Australian Division for<br />
organising and running a most successful conference. The<br />
feedback and the photos you will see in this issue (Page 16)<br />
demonstrate the importance of new ideas and insights, of<br />
applying research to practice, of connecting and reconnecting,<br />
and taking control on the journey to a good life. We are<br />
hoping to continue this journey and replicate the positive<br />
energy in Aotearoa New Zealand, 4-6 November 2020 in<br />
Auckland. The theme of the 2020 Australasian conference,<br />
Whanaungatanga – Growing Connections throws light on the<br />
importance of connections. Our intention is that through shared<br />
experiences, learning from and being with one another, a<br />
sense of belonging, whanaungatanga will prevail.<br />
We hope you will enjoy this issue and continue your<br />
connection with and contribution to <strong>ASID</strong>.<br />
