Overview - 8th Annual Pediatric Brain Symposium

The 8th Annual Pediatric Brain Symposium is a pediatric neuroscience conference intended for healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing pediatric brain health. Featuring expert speakers in pediatric neurology, neurodevelopment, behavioral health, and related neurosciences, this conference will address issues and explore current advances in pediatric brain health with a focus on epilepsy, movement disorders, concussion, and behavioral health.

Join specialists and multidisciplinary providers from across the pediatric neurosciences on November 6-8, 2026, while enjoying the beautiful setting of the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek in Orlando, Florida, located just minutes away from Walt Disney World Resort. This premier pediatric brain health conference offers opportunities for continuing education, collaboration, and professional networking while providing attendees with access to leading experts in pediatric brain health sciences.

After attending this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to:

Identify and apply evidence-based strategies or the recognition, assessment, and management of suicidality in pediatric patients within clinical and community settings.
Differentiate between tic disorders and other movement disorders in children and adolescents and utilize appropriate diagnostic tools and treatment modalities.
Evaluate and manage feeding and swallowing disorders (dysphagia) in pediatric patients, incorporating interdisciplinary approaches and referrals as needed.
Recognize and treat communication disorders in children through collaboration with speech-language pathologists and other allied professionals.
Implement multidisciplinary approaches for diagnosing and managing complex neurological disorders, including movement disorders and drug-resistant epilepsy, utilizing emerging treatment options, such as dietary, therapy, neuromodulation, and surgical interventions.
Interpret recent developments in pediatric neuroimmunology and apply current evidence to clinical practice in the diagnosis and management of related conditions.
Assess current trends in pediatric migraine treatment, including pharmacologic and device-based interventions, and apply best practices for individualized care.
Apply tools and strategies learned during the symposium to improve interdisciplinary collaboration among primary care providers, specialists, and nursing teams in the care of pediatric neuroscience patients.
