APA Division 33: Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Atkins related newsletter articles

In the past I mentioned (at ICDP sister blog) the importance of APA Divisions 33 (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) and 41 (American Psychology-Law Society) for psychologists and other professionals interested in Atkins cases. 

I recently joined both (although I've yet not received confirmation of my secret decoder ring and handshake for Div 33).

Today I was rummaging around the Div 33 website and was looking at past editions of the newsletter.  I found  that a large number of recent newsletters contained articles related to intellectual disability and Atkins cases.  I downloaded them for some late-night reading.  Others may find them of interest.  Below is a list of articles in recent newsletters.  You can access them by clicking here, and then using the "Current Issue" menu to locate specific issues.  Enjoy
