We’re proud to announce Jesi Stracham as the 2026 Keynote Speaker for the 38th Annual Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day Conference, taking place this May.
Jesi is a nationally recognized life advocate, adaptive athlete, and fitness and nutrition coach who brings a powerful and authentic perspective on resilience, independence, and living without limits. Through her personal journey and professional work, Jesi challenges assumptions and inspires individuals, organizations, and communities to think differently about ability, inclusion, and self-determination.
