Anthony DeVergillo

Anthony DeVergillo is a communications professional and disability inclusion advocate from New Jersey who lives with a muscle-weakening condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Through his difficulties with leaving home due to his disability, Anthony has gained a personal understanding and passion for developing virtual options that replicate every in-person social experience. Additionally, his career managing communications at Amicus Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company specializing in rare disease, has helped him grow into a leader and inspired his personal volunteer work with rare disease nonprofits. Anthony is currently running the Overjoyed For Inclusion pilot program at the nonprofit Jett Foundation, where he combines technology and social fun with his inclusion projects spanning video game accessibility, virtual events, music, cooking, and more. His proudest achievement is developing the Overjoyed Accessible Gaming software, a free Microsoft Store app helping everyone play video games using any way they move their mouse cursor and click!
