Abstract

The presentations at this conference have highlighted the level of professional commitment, concern and compassion with which researchers and teachers have attempted to address the task of improving educational services for students with special educational needs. The focus of this conference upon the theme “Excellence In A New century”; is appropriate and it is organisations such as AASE that will have to take up the advocacy role in trying to ensure that this objective is realised. Major impediments to attaining this objective are present in existing legislation, teacher training programs and educational service delivery systems. I believe that the removal of these impediments and the creation of an “excellent”; educational system will take much time and effort but this should not deter AASE from proceeding towards its stated objective.
