Welcome to the
Virginia Tech Autism Clinic & Center for Autism Research
where our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families through intervention, education, and research directed towards effective treatments and supports.
Join the VTAC/CAR Research Registry.
This secure registry is open to autistic individuals of any age and their parents and caregivers. Completing the consent form and demographic survey enables our student clinicians to contact you about upcoming clinical service research that you or your family member may enroll in.

VTAC/CAR stands in solidarity with Black/African American and Asian/Asian-American individuals, families, and community members. We strongly affirm the Virginia Tech Principles of Community and condemn hate and oppression in any form. We recognize that the experience of racial discrimination affects many members of our community. We recognize that psychological distress may arise including vicarious trauma, racial trauma, concerns about community violence and discrimination on the basis of race, feelings of isolation, and disempowerment, among other distressing psychological concerns. For those affected by these experiences, we encourage seeking support and services, which may be accessed by contacting the Psychological Services Center at 540-231-6914.
We also strongly support neurodiversity and acknowledge varying preferences regarding language among self-advocates within the autism and broader community. Please let us know your preference for identity-first (i.e., "autistic individual") or person-first language (i.e., "individual with autism/ASD") when we meet.
