This document will set out concrete proposals for a needs-based teaching assistant system, parental involvement mechanisms, and inclusive practices that can be adapted across the V4 region. The conference serves as the culmination of knowledge exchange and advocacy capacity-building throughout the project. By providing a high-profile platform, it ensures visibility of the issues faced by families of children with special educational needs and positions their voices at the center of public debate.
