IASE celebrated 35 years of collaboration, research and service during our 17th Biennial International Conference in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  


The International Association of Special Education (IASE) in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education invited academics, practitioners, community leaders, NGOs and independent scholars and researchers from around the world (27 countries were represented). It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Special Needs Education.


A special thanks to everyone who participated in the conference (online participants and in person delegates) our local team, all the volunteers, all the presenters who submitted their abstracts for inclusion in the conference proceedings, and all those who contributed to continuing Dr. Marg Csapo's legacy.  

IASE was a dream of its founder Dr. Marg Csapo and her founding members.   May you (IASE) enjoy many more years of success and leading special education around the globe!
