Autism Awareness Luncheons

The Faison School is a tremendous asset to our community and is working to build visibility. We are currently conducting awareness luncheons on site. Each 75 minute luncheon includes a tour of the school and a short presentation about autism. A recent attendee was struck by “the progress of the school in such a short amount of time and the unbelievable sincerity and commitment of the staff.”

If you would like to attend a luncheon or know of anyone who might, please contact Wendy Kreuter at wkreuter@vcu.org or 804-612-1952
