Description & Specifications

The recent socio-political, economic, and cultural conditions and the ensuing unimaginable scientific developments and upheavals (e.g., the expansion of knowledge, the positive and negative achievements of new technologies, the globalization of the economy, the increase in population, unbridled competition, the strengthening of the individual over the collective, the expansion of living standards, the development of biotechnology, genetics, and neuroscience, the questioning of universal values, etc.) have urgently led to the development of a new understanding, a new concept, the Universal Design, aimed at facilitating the individual and social life of citizens.

In the field of education, Universal Design is reflected and implemented in the school for all (unified school). The new trend of inclusive education refers to the effort to recognize the individual differences of each student and to utilize them during the educational-teaching process within the framework of the unified classroom. Thus, a trend towards greater interaction and integration of special and general education emerges and is imposed, with the goal of their creative unification.

It is believed that the time has come for Special Education to offer and exchange positions, values, and achievements with General Education. With the integration of children with special educational needs into general education schools, general education as a whole can be enriched through common research programs demanded by the new trend, with new approaches to teaching (e.g., Differentiated Instruction) involving new sensitized scientists at both theoretical and practical levels, along with new organizational-administrative and modern scientific infrastructures.

At the same time, the interdisciplinary nature of Special Education helps disseminate research data from one scientific field to another, with the ultimate aim of developing strategies and techniques necessary for acquiring the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required by modern society.
