Martin Horn is proud to have played a part in creating a supportive space for those in
our community living with autism. The Virginia Institute of Autism facility underwent
a renovation and expansion in order to host its new offering of services, which is
geared toward adults and adolescents, who may not have access to support outside
of the school system. This newer, larger facility will house high school and adult
programs in an effort to develop strong independent living skills.

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. They have dedicated staff who are committed to improving the lives of
people with autism. They provide them with education on cooking, cleaning, vocational
skills, and social skills that will help them transition into adulthood and provide
community connection for people with autism in Charlottesville
