Join us and learn from world-class experts about the essential tools needed to empower the next generation of Smart Kids & Teens.

In recent years the number of children diagnosed with learning, behavioural and mental health problems has escalated.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders have rocketed in both the UK and USA.
One in six children in the USA is classified as neurodivergent and one in 36 as autistic – a fourfold increase in 20 years.
This crisis is not just ‘in the genes’—something is happening to our children’s brains. Join us at Smart Kids Conference to uncover the truth, explore the latest research, and discover real solutions to support children’s brain health.
