The journal, Sexuality and Disability, continues to be a professional home and a place of professional rejuvenation for study and advancement. Many have followed the journal since the 1970’s. If you are new to the journal, we always give to you a “BIG WELCOME” and invite you to participate as a reader, author, academician, clinician, educator, service provider, researcher, advocate, or person seeking information. Over the years of contribution to the literature on sexuality and disability healthcare, we have been a part of the growth, understanding, and advocacy. Most important, we continue to be a part of the change in how we look and examine the topic, the needs, and the response in terms of best practice-evidence based approaches. With intelligence, experience, motivation, and supportive dedication from our authors, readership, international peer reviewers and international editorial board members, and resources combined with valuable guidance from the Springer Staff; our journal’s mission continues to be meaningful and productive. This international effort continues as a strength in the field of sexuality and disability.

Since 1978, Sexuality and Disability has pushed for pragmatic knowledge to have impact on education, research, and practice. Sexuality and Disability makes available original impact articles addressing the mental health and medical healthcare aspects of sexuality in relation to rehabilitation, hospital, academic, and community settings, publishing up-to-date articles, invited case studies, clinical practice reports, reviews, featured articles, historical articles, special grand rounds topics, brief research reports, and survey data reports. Value benefit is provided to authors through worldwide electronic exposure and professional access, while readership gains knowledge from scholarly contributions which advance the field through research, evidence-based, best-practice and educational articles. Individual contributions from the local and international community delivers a wealth of information with broad perspectives on the topic of sexuality and disability.

So many world challenges, struggles, hardships and opportunities. There is a push for IDEA (Inclusiveness, Diversity, Equity and Access) to have a strong voice, a place at the table, and to guide meaningful change in developing “a new norm” with an enduring foundation to sustain a comprehensive structure of knowledge, learning, growing, teamwork, with a broad view and respect. Our contributors and readership continue to participate in these praiseworthy efforts.

Thank you for joining our professional family.
