> Subject: Special journal issue on genetics
>
> Dear all,
>
> The Journal on Developmental Disabilities will be publishing a special
> issue later this spring that will feature a major article by Matt
> Stowe, Rud Turnbull, Suzanne Schrandt and Jennifer Rack (attached)
> entitled "Looking to the future: Intellectual and developmental
> disabilities in the genetics era."
>
> What we would like to do is publish this article along with a sizable
> commentary comprised of the perspectives of a number of experts in the
> field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am writing to
> invite all of you to respond to the article with your perspective,
> which will be put together to form this commentary. The length of your
> contribution can vary, depending on the points you wish to make, but I
> suggest 50-1,000 words.
>
> The article has been independently peer reviewed, so I am not looking
> for the commentary to critique the work presented. Rather, we would
> like your reaction to the content points that you think are most
> interesting or most critical to our field, how they contribute to our
> field, or additional information / an additional perspective you would
> like to stress from your personal experiences or your area of
> expertise. About half of you are from outside the United States, and
> you will notice from the first paragraph on that the authors are
> writing primarily within a U.S. context; however, the
> topic is clearly international in scope, and thus I invite you to
> include reference to the international context to the degree you
> consider important.
>
> I ask you to do two things:
> 1. Please email me know right away if you are able to send a short
> contribution.
> 2. You may send me your contribution at any time, but we need to
> receive them all by May 12 to meet our publication deadlines.
>
> Thank you all. This promises to be a very interesting issue, and I am
> very much looking forward to your contributions.
