Welcome message

• It is a great honor to host the 5th Asia-Pacific International PBS Conference here in Korea. I deeply appreciate this valuable opportunity to learn, reflect, and engage in discussions about how PBS practices are disseminated across different languages, cultures, and regions in the Asia-Pacific and beyond. Through this conference, we will explore how PBS contributes to enhancing the quality of life and identify key challenges we can address together in the future.
  As the world becomes more interconnected, the importance of culturally responsive and evidence-based practices in education and behavior support continues to grow. This conference serves as a platform for collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, fostering meaningful discussions that can lead to innovative solutions. We hope that this event will inspire new perspectives and strengthen partnerships across countries and disciplines.
  We sincerely welcome you to this three-day journey of knowledge-sharing, networking, and cultural exchange. May you find this conference both intellectually enriching and personally rewarding. Enjoy your time in Korea, and we look forward to engaging discussions with all of you.
