It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our esteemed colleague and Section Editor-in-Chief of the “Special and Inclusive Education” Section in Education Sciences, Prof. Dr. James M. Kauffman, who passed away on 25 September 2024 in Afton, Virginia. We are deeply grateful for his invaluable contributions to the journal and the lasting legacy his research has left on the academic community.
