Boston Interactive Launches Redesigned Website for Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism (PRWeb)

Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 17, 2008 - Boston Interactive, a website development and interactive marketing firm announces the launch of the new website for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism (http://www.flutiefoundation.org). The Flutie Foundation is an organization dedicated to promoting awareness and supporting families affected by autism spectrum disorders.

The Flutie Foundation partnered with Boston Interactive to redesign their site in order to facilitate online donations and membership activities while promoting the Foundation's purpose and improving the user experience. The Foundation required a fresh, redesigned image while maintaining a credible grassroots feel. By highlighting the foundation's mission and resources, the site engages the visitors and drives them to action by signing up, donating, attending an event, or spreading awareness of autism and its impact on families.

The new site brings together customized information for families, fans, and sponsors into a single-facing website. Each content area works to provide resources and stories that create a unified vision of the Flutie Foundation and their mission to lend a helping hand to families in need.

The Flutie Foundation seems to share our values.

"Our primary goal is to promote awareness and support families affected by autism spectrum disorders. We are committed to funding organizations that provide direct services, family support grants, education, advocacy and recreational opportunities with the purpose of improving the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families."

Sounded quite nice, until I got to the early intervention, ABA and Autism Speaks bits.

Yet another organisation of NTs that pretty much ignores the wishes of autistics?

There's nothing wrong with early intervention.

I'm a strong advocate of early intervention. I didn't know they were affiliated with Autism Speaks. I was impressed that emphasize support, not cure.
