From starting the first residential Autism program in Virginia to conducting the state\u2019s first official Autism study, we are always striving to give our clients the most innovative, evidence-based care available.<\/p>\n<p>Our experience has taught us how to help those with Autism master their treatment goals in order to live a more independent and meaningful life. Grafton not only teaches these individuals how to operate in their community, but we also teach the community how to understand and be more accepting. As a result, we\u2019ve seen the communities in which we work become the best advocates for our clients.<\/p>\n<p>In Virginia, where we are based, we partner with school districts, local governments, and the community to develop unique solutions for students with Autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. As other states address this issue, we are eager to share what we have learned to foster the adoption of effective solutions outside of our region.
