After undergoing this uncertain time due to the pandemic, we present with the aftertaste of the success of the IV International Conference on Special and Specific Needs organised by the Universidad Complutense, La Universidad de Extremadura and La Universidad de Almería, the V International Conference on Specific Needs in Educational Support, Public Health and Social Exclusion, on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of December 2021.

Our wish is that this Conference address the objectives and aims of previous conferences in both Special Education and Health and The Life Cycle.

In this way, la Asociación para la Investigación y Desarrollo del Crecimiento Humano y el Grupo de Investigación a HUM-498 of the University of Almeria, the associations INFAD AND G-21 represented by professor Florencio Vicente and the task team from the UNIR led by professor Victor Santiuse, join together in an effort to make this V International Conference on Specific Needs in Educational Support, Public Healthcare and Social Exclusion, a success in making public investigations and experiences related to education, psychology and health throughout the entire life cycle, and to promote spaces for debate and the exchange of innovative ideas on this fascinating topic.

La Asociación para la Investigación y Desarrollo del Crecimiento Humano and other promoting and organising institutions for the Conference, support the aims and the need to conduct activities with national and international cooperation aimed at personal development, social and employment integration, by creating networks and establishing bonds with different European countries, Latin America and the world, and so come together to initiate this V International Conference on Specific Needs in Educational Support, Public and Social Health Care and Social Exclusion: Towards an Inclusive Society.

On this occasion, we would like to emphasize the problems stemming from social exclusion at all levels, opting for an inclusive society that defends and promotes the rights of all people given their condition as human beings, leaving behind inequality and injustice.

We gather in the context of this International Conference, with the aim of providing society with mechanisms and strategies to guarantee the defence of the rights of all people, to offer opportunities in development and well-being, to understand diversity as a great opportunity and an incentive for individual and collective development, inviting the promotion of effective policies for social inclusion.

In this Conference, we want to make available a wide range of themes relevant to the community of investigators and professionals in the fields of Education, Psychology and Health, whic this year focuses on the crucial aspects that lead us to an ever more inclusive, free and just society.

The main objectives of this gathering focus on:

• To promote, group and sustain scientific and professional exchanges among investigators and professionals in the fields of Education, Psychology and Health, with an aim to contrast ideas and perspectives relevant to recent and important investigations in the areas previously outlined.
• To present and debate the results of projects and contributions in these areas throughout the Life Cycle, with special emphasis on eliminating social exclusion.
• To deepen and exchange experiences relevant to ways of taking concrete action regarding problems relating to Education, Psychology and Health throughout human development.
• To contribute to the knowledge and personal enrichment of investigators, professionals, students and participating families.
