VIA’s students and clients connect more meaningfully with their families and engage more successfully in their communities thanks to our evidence-based approaches. By bridging science and service, we help people overcome the challenges of autism—developing the skills needed for greater independence and success. Compare programs.
The behavioral challenges that may accompany developmental or intellectual disabilities don't stop when individuals grow beyond school age. That's why we provide services for adults aged 22 and older. Our adult clients engage in a range of programs promoting learning, personal growth, individual choice, and meaningful engagement.

If your child struggles in public school due to a developmental disability (autism or another neurological disorder), VIA schools may provide a solution. Our James C. Hormel School (JCH) serves those 6 to 22 years old, and our students come from 14 central Virginia school divisions. VIA is here to help when your children's needs for learning, communication, behavior, or social interaction are too intensive for public school settings.

Our amazing staff helps families meet their challenges:
“What a difference the community at VIA has made for us. I can’t overestimate the power of interacting every day with people who get it - when so much of the world doesn’t.”
“My son is truly a different child because of the love, education, and support he has received at VIA.”
“She is 21 now, so you can imagine the number of people we’ve had providing services. I have never seen the level of dedication, involvement, and commitment like I have from the team at VIA.”
“VIA has opened a whole new world for him - social connections, community activities. He wouldn’t have that if it wasn’t for VIA.”
Those living across central Virginia currently use VIA services, whether delivered at one of our Charlottesville campuses, in homes, or at school.
