Live when it counts. Flexible when you need it.
To create space for meaningful thinking, reflection, and connection, we've reimagined how we're approaching this year's symposium. We've split our event into two sections: live and asynchronous — so you can get the most out of the 2026 Sensory Symposium, with a deep, rich collection of presentations AND dynamic, interactive live sessions.
Here's what we're excited to bring you this year:
- A completely reimagined format — we've split the symposium into live and asynchronous so you get the best of both worlds
- 10+ speakers sharing rich, expert presentations you can watch on your own time
- Self-paced async content that we've designed to build week by week — so you arrive to every live session primed and ready
- Interactive workshops on September 25 & October 9 — where we dig into big ideas together
- Panel discussions where we open it up to the whole community to wrestle with the questions that really matter
- A full month of learning — no cramming, no rushing, just a rich experience at a pace that works for you
What you'll walk away with
- A deeper ability to interpret behavior in the context of lived experience — not just diagnosis
- Frameworks for designing co-regulatory, trauma-informed interventions across settings
- Practical strategies grounded in sensory integration, relational health, and developmental science
- Connections with interdisciplinary peers who share your commitment and curiosity
