VIA Centers for Neurodevelopment

VIA Centers for Neurodevelopment (VIA) is dedicated to empowering people to embrace the strengths and meet the challenges related to autism and neurodevelopmental disabilities by providing compassionate, evidence-based services throughout their lives. Our programs and services are built around the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and employ professionals in the fields of behavior analysis, childhood special education, speech-language therapy, clinical psychology, and occupational and physical therapies.

In 30 years, VIA has grown from a small school started by families desperate to find effective education for their children with autism into an innovative leader in autism services. When VIA first opened in 1996, four students were served. Today, VIA serves 360+ individuals and their families in central and southwest Virginia. 

VIA's three core programs include:

• School Services: A year-round day school for students ages 2-22 who are struggling to have their needs met in a public school setting.
• Behavioral Heath Services: A clinic setting delivering therapies and related services to individuals ages 2-6 who need help with school readiness, social skills, emotional regulation, and more.
• Adult Services: A day support program for adults with autism over the age of 22 with a range of programs that promote learning, personal growth, individual choice, and meaningful engagement.
