A statewide conference for people with disabilities, their families and the professionals who support them.

2026 Keynote Speaker: Chris Ulmer

Chris Ulmer’s work centers the voices of people with disabilities and their families — creating space for stories that are too often ignored, misunderstood, or spoken over.

Chris is the founder of the leading neurodiversity movement, SBSK (Special Books by Special Kids). Chris travels the globe meeting friends with a diagnosis and sharing their stories on social media.  He believes that when we take the time to hear someone’s story and view life from their perspective, we learn and grow as humans, making the world a better place. Together, Chris and the SBSK community are promoting conversations on acceptance and inclusion around the world.
