Our Story
Bridges to Adelphi is dedicated to providing the highest levels of comprehensive, individualized academic, social, and vocation support to Adelphi's neurodiverse students. This includes students who self-disclose that they are on the autism spectrum or students who have other non-verbal or neurological-social disorders.
Through a variety of services designed to help students maximize their areas of strength and creativity, we strive to increase community awareness and understanding, as well as foster appreciation for each student's unique view of the world.
Description
Help our team reach our goal for the 2021 Flutie 5k for Autism: Dougie's Epic Adventure, to raise critical funds for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism to help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest!
Former NFL Quarterback, Doug Flutie, and his wife Laurie started the Doug Flutie, Jr. Flutie Foundation for Autism in 1998 after their son, Dougie, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. Their personal experience of raising a son on the autism spectrum inspired them to help others on an equally long and challenging journey. Over its 23-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $15 million to partner schools and organizations who provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports and more for people and families affected by autism. The Flutie Foundation also provides direct financial support to families through initiatives like education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, to provide immediate help where it's needed the most.
