Marcello Rollando askes VIA’s Ethan Long & Larry Garretson about Autism

The Virginia Institute of Autism is dedicated to helping people overcome the challenges of autism through innovative, evidence-based programs in education, outreach and adult services.

Working collaboratively with VIA’s Board of Directors, consumers and community stakeholders, Executive Director Ethan Long has articulated a vision and mission for VIA that results in a center of excellence with core services developed to meet the needs of people with autism across their lifespans. These services and programs generate individual, family and community outcomes. These outcomes are then analyzed to inform subsequent program development and improvement.

The Virginia Institute of Autism incorporates the values of strategic leadership (LEAD), innovation and evidence-based (CREATE), and systems transformation (CHANGE) into all planning, program development and operational activities.

The Virginia Institute of Autism is committed to creating innovative programs that will provide models for how services can more effectively and efficiently help people with autism and their families, even people not directly served by VIA. Virginia Institute of Autism programs will be developed, refined and ultimately replicated to demonstrate to key stakeholders and policymakers ways in which people impacted by autism can be best served in their communities. This is the strategic process by which VIA’s vision of a world in which people overcome the challenges of autism will be accomplished.
