The successful organization of the 2nd Panhellenic Conference with international participation by the Special Education Society of Greece held from April 15-18, 2010 (2,230 attendees from all geographic regions of the country, 180 speakers, 4 university professors from abroad, 19 symposia) and the earnest pursuit of knowledge in the sensitive area of Special Education served as one of the motivations for our Society to organize the 3rd Panhellenic Conference.
Furthermore, the contemporary key remarks both on a scientific-research and educational-practical level, which address modern dilemmas and prospects of Special Education, marked the philosophy, positions, and goals of the Conference.
The transition in modes of thinking and application choices, which characterizes many areas of social and economic life in our times, is clearly reflected in the field of Special Education. After passing relatively successfully (a) from the phase of marginalization and isolation of individuals with special needs to the phase of recognition of equal rights and their social acceptance and (b) from the phase of "employment" in special education structures to the phase of providing systematic educational services in general schools, Special Education today faces a series of challenges that promise hopeful prospects but also create difficult dilemmas.
The challenges, as well as the prospects and dilemmas associated with them, refer to almost the entire spectrum of the structural elements of Special Education and include issues: terminology, processes for detecting special needs, organizing teaching programs and training staff, responding to teaching and applicability of differentiated teaching, enriching programs with new subjects (e.g., self-determination).
It is worth specifically mentioning the education and utilization of Special Education personnel. Modern requirements necessitate the redesign of relevant programs. Professionals and educators providing special services, such as diagnosing special needs or parallel support, should possess substantial qualifications and not merely formal training.
