Meet this Year’s Performers

Our emcee and performer Jonathan LeJeune

Jonathan LeJeune is a DeafBlind professional dedicated to advocacy, education, and accessibility within the DeafBlind community. He works at DBCAN as Director and teaches the DeafBlind Dynamics class at Northeastern University. As a free-agent consultant, he provides Protactile workshops and training across New England and nationwide.

An alumnus of the Tactile Communication program in Oregon, Jonathan is also a Protactile mentor, committed to advancing tactile communication and accessibility. Born and raised in a fully DeafBlind family, he grew up immersed in a rich cultural and linguistic environment, shaping his deep understanding of DeafBlind experiences.

Jon’s passion for storytelling shines through his enjoyment of ASL ABC and 123 stories. Beyond his professional work, he is a devoted father who takes great pride in supporting his children, especially cheering them on in wrestling. His commitment to both his family and the broader community reflects his unwavering dedication to fostering growth, connection, and advocacy for DeafBlind individuals.
