Learning Disability Research in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge started in the 1990s with the creation of a senior academic psychiatric post linked to the local learning disability services. In 1992 the Section of Developmental Psychiatry was established at Douglas House to support research in learning disabilities and child psychiatry under the leadership of Professor Ian Goodyer. Later, the Autism Research Centre was established and these three research groups now make up the Section of Developmental Psychiatry. With the award of The Health Foundation Chair in Learning Disabilities to Tony Holland at the University of Cambridge in 2002 the group was able to expand and develop new interdisciplinary research themes.
