Hi Friends & Family!
Thank you so much for considering donating to the Flutie Foundation! For those of you who know me well, I have dedicated the last 6 years working with and advocating for individuals with disabilities. In my role as a Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and as Pediatric Nurse in Developmental Medicine, I have been honored to play an involved role in the care and treatment/therapy for individuals with Autism.
The Flutie Foundation is dedicated to increasing opportunities for individuals with disabilities and their families. I have seen first hand how impactful accessing these different programs and activities can be to ensure individuals with autism are respected, included, and engaged in their communities. I am so happy to support a foundation that, at it's core, prioritizes making this population feel a sense of belonging.
A donation of any amount would be so appreciated!
Description
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 20-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $14 million to schools and organizations that provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports and more for people affected by autism.
The Flutie Foundation also provides education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, and direct family support through its special programs. The Flutie Foundation’s newest initiative, Flutie Spectrum Enterprises, will help create businesses to employ adults with autism.
