About
Tommie Forslund, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Uppsala University, Sweden, and co-chair of the IASSIDD Parenting Special Interest Research Group (SIRG). A developmental psychologist, his internationally recognized research focuses on parenting among parents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), child development, contextual influences, and parenting support. His work examines how experiences of abuse, maltreatment, and socioeconomic adversity shape parental attachment representations, mentalizing, and caregiving sensitivity, as well as children’s attachment and psychosocial development. While his research has primarily focused on parents with mild intellectual disability, it increasingly includes parents with ADHD and autism, reflecting a broader interest in understanding parenting through individual, relational, and contextual factors.
