Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities Editorial Policy (ETADD)
Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities focuses on the education and welfare of persons with autism, intellectual disability, and other developmental disabilities. ETADD invites research manuscripts, conceptual/position, and critical review of the literature. Major emphasis is on identification and assessment, educational programming, characteristics, training of instructional personnel, habilitation, prevention, community understanding and provisions, and legislation. Three reviewers evaluate each manuscript anonymously. Criteria for acceptance include the following: relevance, quality, reader interest, applicability, contribution to the field, and economy and smoothness of expression. The review process requires two to four months. Viewpoints expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily conform to positions of the Editors or the Division.
