Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The “Belt and Road Together Special Education 2025” will serve as a significant platform for educators and professionals from Central Asia and Southeast Asia to converge, share, and innovate in the field of special education. Scheduled for May 2025 in Hong Kong, this hybrid conference, co-organized by the Education University of Hong Kong and Suleyman Demiral University (SDU) in Kazakhstan, aims to explore the integration of artificial intelligence and educational technology within special education and mental health.
Participants will engage in keynote speeches and parallel sessions, showcasing the latest research, developments, and innovations targeted at supporting students with diverse needs, including autism, dysgraphia, and speech development challenges. By facilitating dynamic exchanges among over 200 scholars, professionals, and industry experts, this conference aims to enhance collaborative efforts and knowledge sharing across the Belt and Road countries. Contributions to this Special Issue will provide insights into groundbreaking practices and technologies that aim to improve outcomes for individuals with special educational requirements, fostering a more inclusive educational landscape.
