Access for All Vision

Access for All Vision

• Our vision is a community in which a
  disability is neutral a community where services
  are integrated such that only unique and uncommon
  accommodations are not readily available. We
  envision a community in which the opportunities
  for citizens with disability are comparable to
  the opportunities for the general population.

It wasnt a big deal, but it made a big

  a Voice and also acted as co-advisor of People

  disabled community has to offer us.

Vicky Moraza
Vicky took on the volunteer role of Deaf Event
Coordinator two years ago for the Deaf and
Signers Club. The Club provides an important way
for ASL learners to interact with members of the
Deaf/Hard of Hearing community and to learn about
Deaf Culture, which is an important facet of ASL
as a foreign language.

Julie Rodewald
Julie Rodewald and her staff at the SLO County

Coast Low Vision Council, People First and others

  years and has sustained an extremely high level

Robert Bove

• Robert is pictured here with Marie, one of his
  favorite clients at the WTP Senior Program in
  San Luis Obispo at the Santa Barbara airport in
  2006. Every June for her birthday Robert took
  Marie to an airport to fulfill her greatest
  desire to fly. There was no greater joy for
  Robert than to help others, especially those
  needing extra assistance, live better lives and
  experience greater joy. He was the wind beneath a
  flock of many, many wings!
