The Institute of Special Educators has been established to improve the quality of education for individuals with disabilities and learning difficulties in Australia, including education for infants and young children, children and young adults in school programs, adults in tertiary education, job support programs, post school activity programs and other services designed to improve quality of life.
InSpEd will recognise the approved qualifications and experiences of Special Educators, and ensure that members maintain their professional knowledge and skills through InSpEd endorsed learning.
In addition, InSpEd will support families and all professionals and carers providing services to individuals with disabilities and learning difficulties by offering up-to-date, evidence-based, information on approaches and specific intervention strategies.

The University of Sydney Special and Inclusive Education Team, who nominated her for the award, described Janey as a high achieving student who completed the MEd (Special and Inclusive Education) at the end of 2023.
