The Faison Center

The Faison Center Pioneering Possibility Since 1999 We serve throughout Virgina, and some areas of North Carolina.

At the Faison Center, our mission is simple - to give children and adults with autism and related challenges the best opportunity to improve their life's journey through evidence-based practice. Our mission across the lifespan is accomplished through specific programs designed to meet the needs of families at different points in their lives: the Faison School, the Faison Behavioral Health Clinic, and Faison Adult Services.

We'd still like to hear from you! ๐Ÿ’™

If youโ€™re a parent of a child with autism and havenโ€™t had a chance yet, weโ€™d still love to hear your perspective.

We're conducting a short, anonymous survey to learn about your experiences with pediatric care โ€“ past or present. Your input will be shared with pediatricians across Virginia to help improve care for families. And please share this with someone you know who has a child with autism.

Every response matters, and the survey takes just a few minutes.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Take the survey here: https://forms.gle/S9pyh8bHzcgNN2Gw5

Thank you for helping make family voices heard.

At the end of each day, Faison staff reflect on three simple questions:
๐˜ฟ๐™ž๐™™ ๐™„ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ช๐™˜๐™ฉ? ๐˜ฟ๐™ž๐™™ ๐™„ ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™–๐™œ๐™š? ๐˜ฟ๐™ž๐™™ ๐™„ ๐™๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™›๐™ช๐™ฃ?

If the answer is yes, itโ€™s been a great day โ€” and tomorrow brings another chance to change lives. ๐Ÿ’™

As the year comes to a close, weโ€™re reflecting on the many individuals who found support, progress and possibility at The Faison Center this year. ๐Ÿ’™

Our Annual Report shares heartfelt letters from families who describe what Faison means for their loved ones โ€“ and for their entire family. Their words tell the story better than we ever could.

If youโ€™re considering a year-end gift, your support helps ensure individuals with autism continue to receive the care, education and opportunities they need to thrive. Gifts made by Dec. 31 are tax-deductible for this year.

Farm days = the best days for our adult clients. ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿด

Robert, Owen and Philip had a blast at Fox Moon Farm, helping care for the animals and giving the newest resident, Maverick, his very first walk around the farm. From trail work to feeding time, there were lots of laughs, fresh air and hands-on fun along the way.

We love experiences that build confidence, connection and joy โ€” especially when animals are involved. ๐Ÿ’™

Faison President & CEO Brian McCann recently stepped onto the Autism Law Summit stage in Orlando to deliver the conference's keynote address.

McCann outlined how our advocacy helped drive major legislative change in Virginia, reforming insurance criteria that routinely blocked children with autism from receiving ABA therapy. Titled "So You're Telling Me There's a Chance," the presentation told the story of how persistence and focused effort helped transform an idea into law in just 30 days.

This is what leadership looks like: pushing systems forward, expanding access and services, and helping families of children with autism navigate a complex world with greater clarity and confidence.

What a night! ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‘ โœจ

Our Wine, Women & Shoes event last week was packed with everything that makes this fundraiser unforgettable โ€” an animated live auction (custom jackets! dream trips!), amazing food, artisan vendors and live music that kept the evening buzzing.

But what made it truly special was the camaraderie and generosity in the room. Every bid, every ticket, every toast supported Faisonโ€™s Early Education Center, where our youngest learners with autism begin their journey.

Thank you to everyone who came out, dressed up and lifted a glass - and lifted our mission. We couldnโ€™t do this without you! ๐Ÿ’™
