This isn’t just another conference agenda—it’s your roadmap to real, practical change.


The 2026 AASE National Conference Program is now live, bringing together leading thinkers, educators and innovators who are redefining what special and inclusive education looks like in action.


Across two powerful days, you’ll dive into sessions that go beyond theory—exploring everything from ethical AI in education and neurodiversity as an advantage, to inclusive pedagogical practice, student voice, and system-wide change strategies.


Every session is designed with one goal in mind: to give you strategies, tools and insights you can take straight back to your workplace and implement with confidence.


From immersive school visits and hands-on workshops, to thought-provoking keynotes and real-world case studies, this program is built to challenge your thinking, strengthen your practice, and connect you with a community driving meaningful change.


Come ready to learn. Leave ready to lead.
