Disabilities
The Governor’s Conference on Developmental Disabilities is the oldest and largest conference of its kind in the United States.

The conference is held each spring in either Oklahoma City or Tulsa. Conference speakers are nationally-respected leaders in the field of developmental disabilities and advocacy leaders in Oklahoma. Previous keynote speakers have included Temple Grandin, John Hockenberry, Dennis Harkins, Norman Kunc, John O’Brien, Sue Swenson, Al Condeluci and Denise Bissonette.
