The VT Autism Clinic & Center for Autism Research sincerely hope that you are doing well during these challenging times.  In the midst of the pandemic and the continued racial injustices plaguing communities of color, we know Black Lives Matter.  Grounded in Virginia Tech's Principles of Community, "we reject all forms of prejudice and discrimination, including those based on age, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, and veteran status. We take individual and collective responsibility for helping to eliminate bias and discrimination and for increasing our own understanding of these issues through education, training, and interaction with others.” VTAC/CAR publicly condemns systemic and institutional racism and the continued senseless acts of race-based violence.
