Live online | Recordings available for 4 months | Registration opens January 1, 2027

The lineup is here, and it is one we have been eager to share. This year's conference pairs a full-day preconference on one of the most urgent questions facing our field (what technology and AI are doing to the developing brain) with a keynote that unveils the updated School Neuropsychology Model, presented by the people who built it. Eight breakout sessions follow, taking you from reading and math to childhood cancer survivorship, central auditory processing, bilingual assessment, ethics, and clinical reasoning.

Mark your calendar for January 1, 2027, when registration opens for the preconference, the regular conference, or both.

Overview
