Pacific Autism Center for Education

Challenge: Founded in 1989, The Pacific Autism Center for Education (PACE) has a mission to enhance the lives of people impacted by autism, through innovation, exceptional education and compassionate care. Services are provided through three primary programs: Behavioral, Educational, and Residential. They came to the Collaborative seeking to replace their existing website with one that was much more vibrant and interesting. Especially important was the featuring of the wonderful staff and clients that are part of this incredible organization.

Solution: We developed a website (and accompanying logos and graphics that can be used in other applications) that were bold, modern, and enjoyable. By developing a consistent look-and-feel throughout the website, all of the programs are accurately reflected as being under that same parent organization. With minimal effort, a visitor to the site can appreciate all that PACE has to offer.

Results: PACE is receiving the recognition it deserves after being born from years of futile attempts to work within the traditional system to meet the specialized needs of persons with autism. Starting with 14 students in 1989 and one group home in 1992, PACE currently serves over 60 students in our preschool and K-12 school, houses 36 children and adults in our residential program, and provides behavioral services for Bay Area families.

Porchlight Autism Education Series

Challenge: The Porchlight Autism Education Series is a resource designed for parents and caregivers of people living with autism. The series focuses on education and solutions to help with behavioral change at home. Porchlight is meant to be an easily accessible resource for you when you need it, and at your own pace. The Collaborative came aboard to help them organize their material and present the educational solutions in a clear and concise manner to both English and Spanish-speaking clients.

Solution: We created a very logical and clean menu structure and added sharp, colorful graphics to make the learning experience more enjoyable. Four key learning areas were highlighted: Understanding Autism / Tools for Caregivers, Help with Daily Routines / Self Help, Social Skills / Communication / Safety, and Behaviors. With over 50 modules, Porchlight provides parents with a useful resource that can be accessed 24/7, when they need it most.

Results: Our modern, professional website for Porchlight helps to navigate the overwhelming amount of information on autism. The upgraded learning modules help those affected learn ways to manage behaviors and other challenges at home. The implementable strategies presented in concise, high impact terms help parents and caregivers communicate effectively with pediatricians, therapists, case workers, teachers, and others on the care team. The information provided is not meant as a substitute for a professional therapist, but merely to provide suggestions on how to make use of ABA and other behavior techniques. We welcome your comments and look forward to providing you with the skills to better understand behavior and how to make positive change in the lives of those affected by autism.

Loeb Visitors Center

Challenge: The Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr. Visitors Center asked the Collaborative to design a website that tells the story of a facility that stands at the corner of time and history. Physically located at Spring and Touro Streets, on the campus of the National Landmark Touro Synagogue, the Loeb Visitors Center and Exhibit Hall celebrates all of our first amendment rights. It most specifically illuminates America’s guaranteed right of religious freedom and the clear separation of church and state.

Solution: The Collaborative was honored to create a world-class website that attracts visitors in the same manner as the Center itself. Using large visuals and “hero” images, we showcased the main areas of the Loeb Jr. Visitors Center and organized the information similar to what would encounter when taking a tour through the facility itself. The navigation is exceptionally easy to follow and content is presented in a manner that all ages can appreciate.

Results: Since its launch, the website has become a hub of activity for those seeking to know more about Religious Freedom and Separation of Church and State, and how the Center celebrates these founding ideals including exploring their origin, how they became the very first clauses of the Bill of Rights, and how Washington, Jefferson, Madison and the other founders saw these ideals as key to making America a strong and enduring nation.
