The Virginia Institute of Autism (VIA) is a school for autistic children located in Charlottesville. VIA was opened by four parents in the winter of 1996 as a way of providing help for their children, who had been diagnosed with autism. In 2001, the school moved to its location on Westwood Road and operated from three buildings, as of 2011. VIA can provide services to up to thirty children at any time.[1]

VIA has plans to move into a building used by the Center on Hillsdale Drive and to turn into the Center for Adolescent and Adult Autism Services. [2]

The executive director is Ethan Long.
