James Lemanowicz, assistant director of the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University, has been named a fellow of the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD).

Lemanowicz is a Temple alumnus and has been an employee of the institute for more than 30 years, focusing on statistical analysis and data management on multiple research projects. He has co-authored several publications, with a current area of concentration in quality enhancement, consumer interviews and evaluation of the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

The honor of "Fellow of the Association" of the AAIDD is presented after careful review by a committee of association leaders. Individuals are nominated and considered when they are judged to have made a meritorious contribution to the field of intellectual disability and after they have been an active, participating member of AAIDD for at least seven continuous years.
