Options For All Team Launches Website Designed by Program Consumers
There ’ s something extraordinary about the photos and videos on the new Options For All website .
Launched May 17 , 2022 , the brand-new optionsforall . org features vivid images of actual participants in its programs – not stock art .
Not only that , all of the photos and videos were captured by a team of video professionals with intellectual and developmental disabilities ( I / DD ).
These are the storytellers for our organization , and we looked to them to provide the most authentic representation of the individuals in our programs ”
Ken Barnes , President & CEO
Founded in 1985 , OFA serves more than 1,500 consumers across California with innovative programs in the greater San Diego , Inland Empire , and Silicon Valley areas .
The website relaunch is just one of the many accomplishments by OFA this past year . According to the annual report , others include achieving a near-perfect service delivery rate , investing in information technology , and dramatically reducing staff turnover .
Locally , OFA is investing in senior programs . At the state level , OFA ’ s legislative advocacy achieved a groundbreaking win for persons with disabilities banning sub-minimum wages for persons in the I / DD community .
