Spotlight on Creativity at Options For All
April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day—a time to learn more about autism, show support, and celebrate the creativity and talents of people on the spectrum, especially adults with autism.
At Options For All, we know that adults with autism have incredible stories to tell—and our Film & Media Program helps them do just that. With support from caring staff and access to professional equipment, our participants build confidence, learn job skills, and create powerful films that leave a lasting impact.
🎬 From the Studio to the Big Screen
Our studios have had an amazing spring! Teams from our Film & Media programs were invited to screen their work at multiple film festivals—including the 66-Hour Film Festival and more, coming soon.
We’re so proud of our clients and their passion for filmmaking. Whether they’re behind the camera or starring on screen, they’re sharing their voices and making a difference.
📢 Watch Our PSA on Medicaid Funding
All three studios also worked together to create Public Service Announcements (PSAs) about protecting Medicaid and disability services. These projects show just how powerful film can be when people are given the chance to speak up.

🌍 Adults with Autism Are Thriving
From local studios to global headlines, adults with autism are making their voices heard.
