Drs J.A. (Hans) Welling
President ICEVI-Europe

The International Council for Education and Rehabilitation of People with Visual Impairment ICEVI-Europe is a global association of individuals and organizations that promotes equal access to appropriate education and rehabilitation for all people with visual impairment so that they may achieve their full potential.

Welcome
by Head of Chernihiv Region Administration of Education and Science

Each child is an individual from birth he has equal rights and freedoms. Whatever his physical or mental limitations the child has always a scope for development, the use of which can significantly improve the quality of his life.
Early Intervention and development of Inclusive Education are fundamental for achieving this target.

I want to emphasize that Early Intervention and introduction of Inclusion in secondary schools, including those for children with visual impairments, are relevant for educational system of Chernihiv region.
That is why for us it is very important that the VI International Conference of Eastern- European countries on the issue of "Full participation in society: all starts with Early Intervention and Ambulant Educational Support", initiated by the International Council for Education and Rehabilitation of People with Visual Impairment ICEVI-Europe, will be held on 11-12 October 2013 in Chernigov.

At the conference it is planned to discuss topical issues such as the sharing of national and international experience of inclusive education, the problems arising during implementation of inclusive education, training of the teachers to work in inclusive classes, provision of a multi-agency approach in organization of inclusive education, etc.

We hope that the conference would be a convenient platform to share experience and develop common approaches to issues of education of the children with visual impairments in terms of inclusion, will give a new impetus to the development of early intervention and the provision of early intervention for children with special educational needs.

I wish fruitful work, success and adoption of constructive solutions to all of the participants of the International Conference! The consolidation of the efforts of all interested parties will accelerate problem solving for the benefit of our children.

Theme of the Conference

Full participation in the Society
All starts with Early Intervention and Itinerant Teaching.

More than 130 countries have ratified the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. More countries will follow.
This convention concerns the right to full membership to the society of people with impairments. This implies an important challenge to make the society accessible for every citizen, young - old, ill or healthy, with impairment and without impairment.
A society for every citizen.
A society, which is characterized by diversity.

This process of inclusion should start as early as possible.
Kindergartens which are accessible for children with impairment.
The same goes for regular schools. However, it must go together with help to parents and child, early intervention and help to pupil and teacher of the mainstream school, itinerant teaching.

This is the theme of the conference. The colleagues from Ukraine gladly will tell their experiences but they are very interested in the experiences in other countries.
