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.

Nearly three-quarters of law enforcement officers have never received formal autism-specific training, yet most have already responded to calls involving someone on the spectrum. This gap is widened by the fact that autism is often an “invisible” disability, with no obvious indicators that an individual may have communication or behavioral differences requiring a different approach.

Faison Center staff Eli Newcomb and Dr. Byron Wine take this issue on in their feature article in the FBI’s most recent issue of the Law Enforcement Bulletin. “Interactions Between Law Enforcement and Individuals with Autism” offers practical recommendations to help law enforcement have safe and effective interactions with individuals with autism.

The article will reach law enforcement audiences worldwide and is the latest development in our ongoing partnership with the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation to support autism training at their National Academy at Quantico.

From T-shirts to tote bags, our teachers and staff lined up around the building last week to create their limited-edition Faison swag!

Studio Two Three set up their printmaking gear on campus and created one-of-a-kind items using two designs submitted by our talented staff.

We're excited to see our colleagues showing off how proud they are to be part of the Faison team!
