Creating Meaningful Moments in the
Multi-Sensory Environment

September 28-30, 2023

Valparaiso University, Harre Union

Registration for the International Conference is OPEN!

The Education Department at Valparaiso University is pleased to serve as the host for the 2023 International Conference of Multi-Sensory Environments. This year’s theme for the International Conference is “creating meaningful moments in the multi-sensory environment” in order to increase quality of life, communication, and build relationships. Facilitating these meaningful moments within multi-sensory spaces provides exceptional support for individuals with disabilities.

Members from the international community, including those from the USA, Canada, Germany, Denmark, New Zealand, Holland, and more will present workshops on how to create and use multi-sensory environments in your organization, business, or home. We invite you to come hear personal stories, connect with colleagues, and learn from those providing leadership in the world of multi-sensory environments.

*ISNA-MSE provides global consultation and training, making connections throughout the world that expand awareness and best practices for mse applications and invitational engagement in mse processes. Visit www.isna-mse.org to learn more.
