It’s Championship Sunday and what better time to announce the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism has awarded $15,000 in support of CMF Kids. Through CMF Kids, Crotched Mountain Foundation partners with public schools to improve educational outcomes for children with autism.
The grant will be used, among other things, for initiatives that increase the number of students with autism gaining vocational skills and work placement experience and expand the number of teachers receiving high-quality training.
“At Crotched Mountain Foundation, we know that the poorest counties in New Hampshire often face steep challenges educating students with complex educational disabilities,” said Ned Olney, President and CEO of Crotched Mountain Foundation. “This generous grant from the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism will go a long way in helping schools meet their students’ needs on a long-term basis.”
