The International Conference on Special Education (ICSE) serves as a dynamic forum for knowledge exchange, uniting educators, researchers, policymakers, and advocates. This platform is dedicated to fostering collaborative discussions on challenges, the sharing of best practices, and the presentation of innovative solutions within the realm of special education. Through these meaningful conversations, participants have the opportunity to broaden their horizons, question established conventions, and refine their educational approaches. The ICSE embodies a commitment to continuous learning and the evolution of educational practices.

In harmony with the ICSE, the inaugural 1st Innovation for Disability-Inclusive Education Competition (iDIEC) 2023 serves as a beacon of innovation, elevating accessibility and inclusivity in education to the forefront. In a world experiencing unparalleled technological progress, it becomes our collective duty to leverage these innovations to craft learning environments that embrace the unique needs of every learner. iDIEC not only celebrates the ingenuity of individuals and teams committed to this noble cause but also serves as a wellspring of inspiration, motivating others to embark on innovative journeys in the pursuit of inclusive education for learners with disabilities.
