OVM Board Members
Alfred Babayan
"I wanted to be in the Advisory Committee because Lendy's speech motivated me but not only that but I enjoy it. I also like to help people, plus I love to share ideas and want to keep doing it plus I really enjoy it."
Andy Vargas
"Hi, my name is Andy. I’m a Minnesota Vikings fan. I’ve been at Easterseals for almost 15 years. At the moment, I’m working on becoming a 1 to 1 at my day program. Some of the community outings I enjoy are at the park where I get to participate in a boxing lesson, and the supermarket to practice money management. My biggest goal in life is to get a better position as a mentor for community outreach. When it comes to leisure time I enjoy video games, music, and being home with family."
Betty
My name is Beatriz Partida. I like to be called Betty for short. I like to speak up for myself, and also encourage others to speak up for themselves. I like working with my peers and listening to what they have to say, so we could all share our ideas on how to make our workspace a better place.
Luz Valerie Ortiz (prefers Valerie)
"I am an advocate because I want to empower people in the disabilities community. I want them to know that they have rights and a voice. I want everyone to know that I understand and they are not alone and I will be the one to help speak up for them in time of need or help. What motivates me is the people around me. Knowing that when I wake up every morning I'm supported not only by my family but also by my friends and peers. Knowing that everyone knows I can do what I want to do with no limitations. I feel like I'm making a difference in peoples lives and giving people a voice so that they can thrive and believe in themselves."
Preeti Subramaniam
"I am an advocate for the West Covina Easter Seals of Southern California . I wanted to be an advocate because I want to try to change the community’s outlook about special needs individuals."
Rosa Felix
"Hi everyone, I am Rosa Felix. I would like to tell you guys a little about me I like to play video games I like to solve puzzles. I'm into origami. And I want to learn Japanese and I also like anime"

People know what is essential and meaningful in their own lives.
Person-Centered Culture and Practices and Self-Determination empower people to actively direct their own days, goals, planning and services.
Person Centered Services champion personal preferences, interests and needs. With this approach, people are supported and encouraged to lead their planning process and make choices about what and with whom they would like to learn, do and be part of.
