Welcome
The Virginia Institute of Autism (VIA) is a non-profit organization providing a day-school and other resources for families, educators and health professionals seeking services, training or information about autism and evidence based interventions.
Playgroups at the Museum
VIA’s Playgroups in the Park support group has moved to the Children’s Discovery Museum! Playgroups in the Museum will meet Mondays from 10:30-noon beginning November 28, 2011. The Discovery Museum is typically closed on Monday so this is a great opportunity for families to enjoy the museum in a relaxed environment. The cost is free and siblings are welcome! There will be no Playgroup sessions on December 26, 2011, and January 2, 2011. Find out more...
