SIS Briefer: September 2026
By Beth Smithson, Sensory Inclusive Schools

Hello
New classrooms, new routines, new faces — September asks a lot of everyone's sensory systems, staff included. It felt like the right moment to share two free opportunities to think about sensory inclusion this term.
Sensory Inclusion Summit 2026: Changing Environments, Enabling Participation
Free | Tuesday 13 October | Pre-recorded, 7 days' access
Co-hosted by Sensory Inclusive Schools and Sensory Integration Education, this cross-sector summit explores how changing environments — not people — supports sensory safety, belonging and participation. Sessions include SEND reform and school environments, praxis, interoception, and lived experience, with a CPD certificate for attending and a chance to win a free place on the Sensory Inclusion Facilitator Certificate (worth £395).

Think You Know Sensory Circuits? Why Most Schools Get Them Wrong
Free 90-minute webinar | Tuesday 22 September
With Beth Smithson, in collaboration with Creative Activity. A look at why sensory circuits so often become a fixed morning-only routine — and how to embed sensory exploration across classrooms, corridors and playgrounds instead, supporting self-awareness and self-advocacy all day long.
Wishing you a smooth start to term.
Best wishes
Beth Smithson
