IASE celebrated 30 years of collaboration, research and service during our 15th Biennial International Conference in Perth, Australia. The International Association of Special Education (IASE) in collaboration with Curtin University and Edith Cowan University invited academics, practitioners, community leaders, NGOs and independent scholars and researchers from around the world (33 countries were represented) in order to exchange the latest ideas and discuss issues addressing the exceptional needs of the whole child and young adult.

A special thanks to everyone who participated in the conference, our local team, all the presenters who submitted their abstracts for inclusion in the conference proceedings, and all those who contributed to making this conference a true celebration!
