The first of the five conferences planned as part of our project was held in Izmir on 2 October 2025. The event was hosted by the Mavi Pencere Special Education Association. The participants were mostly representatives of the deaf community. The intellectual outputs prepared within the scope of the project were presented and evaluated at the conference. We would like to thank Bülent Tekin, President of the Turkish National Federation of the Deaf, and Gökhan KAYA, President of the Mavi Pencere Special Education Association, for enriching the conference with their presentations.
