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 give to you a “BIG WELCOME” and invite you to participate as a reader, author, academician, clinician, educator, service provider, researcher, advocate, special issue guest editor, 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, discovery and advocacy. Most importantly, we continue to be a part of the change in how we view and examine the topic, the needs, the responsibility and the response in terms of best practice-evidence based approaches. We embrace the principles of IDEA “Inclusion, Diversity. Equity and Access” as we continue to move forward.

With intelligence, experience, motivation, and supportive dedication from our authors, readership, national and international peer reviewers and editorial board members, and resources combined with the valuable guidance from the Springer Staff; our journal’s mission continues to be meaningful and productive. Our international effort continues to be 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, policy, 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 and special issues, 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 to advance the field through research, evidence-based, best-practice and educational articles. Individual contributions from the local and international community deliver a wealth of information with broad perspectives on the topic of sexuality and disability.

The impact of COVID-19 upon sexuality will be examined closely over the years ahead. Studies with scientific rigor, narrative accounts, and qualitative observations will garner information to provide an understanding for precautionary actions, readiness, and protection.

And YES…. Sexuality is still around!

Thank you for being a part of our professional family.
