What We Are Doing

Partnerships

Access for All is proud of the collaborative work we are doing with other organizations in our community. These are some of the partnerships we have developed:

Story Corps Recordings

The San Luis Obispo County Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) spearheaded a StoryCorps Project for people living with and supporting those who have disabilities.

Help America Vote

Access for All commends the SLO County Clerk-Recorder Office for all of their efforts in supporting voter and polling place accessibility. Assisting People with Disabilities offers valuable suggestions for workers in the polling place. And San Luis Obispo voters with disabilities have several options that provide a private and independent voting environment.

Activity 4 All

Activity4All (A4A) is focused on providing and promoting physical activity for people with disabilities. People with disabilities need physical activity as much, if not more, than people without disabilities.

Area Board 9

Area Board 9 is a branch of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities whose mission is to protect and advocate for the legal, civil, and service rights of people with developmental disabilities and their families, ensuring that these services are of the highest possible quality.

AFA Hospital Accessibility Survey

AFA is conducting a brief county-wide survey in an attempt to assess the successes and failures of our local hospitals in relation to their sensitivity and responses to the needs of clients with disabilities.

You can make a valuable contribution by completing our survey, which is available in two formats:

• Online
• Printable/PDF version

Your assistance is much appreciated.
