N2 - The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in changes in all areas of clinical practice, including clinical research and within the intellectual disability population. While there have been some benefits from this rapid adoption of change, those involved in research have had to overcome a number of additional challenges. These adaptive changes, which have included the use of technology, closure of social spaces, working with specific groups who are more vulnerable to COVID-19, and mask use impairing communication, have had both positive and negative impacts on research. As the pandemic and related restrictions evolve, it is important to examine the changes that have occurred. In the future, the adoption of a hybrid model in research is likely to be a common approach, establishing a balance between technology and in-person interaction.
