We envision a world in which individuals, families, and communities support, embrace, and celebrate the differences related to autism and neurodevelopmental disabilities so that all lead more fulfilling lives.being
What are your plans and/or events for 2025?
VIA is presenting a “Continuing the Conversation” event on February 12, 2025 at our 491 Hillsdale campus to discuss issues surrounding autism led by a panel of experts. Each of the four talks will review a key advocacy area related to autism as a follow up from our fall screening of the film In a Different Key. VIA also offers multiple family-friendly and educational events throughout the year, including our community engagement program during Autism Acceptance Month in April.
Additionally, an autism diagnosis can be isolating to individuals and families, but VIA’s mission builds bridges into the broader community by creating a network of support. We envision a community with a multitude of open doors to supported employment, inclusive playgrounds and recreational spaces, first responder education, and a growing acceptance of people of all abilities, right here in Charlottesville.
