One Child Center for Autism is a therapy-based, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit serving the Greater Williamsburg area.
Our Mission…. is to provide services and support children and families affected by autism and other developmental differences in their individual journey.
We Believe… 
- In the Presumption of Competence: Every child has the capacity to learn, to communicate, to assert themselves, and will be treated with respect.
- Every child is unique and requires an individualized collaborative approach to care.
- A child should not be denied access to evidence-based therapy due to a lack of insurance or financial resources.
- Supporting parents and siblings improves and strengthens the entire family unit.
- In Community: Creating a network of support for our families while helping foster acceptance in the broader Williamsburg community through education and collaboration.

{excerpt}
I began One Child out of a love for my son and a desire to help our community find a path out of the desert of inaccessible therapy, financial distress, and uncertainty. But helping the child is only part of One Child’s mission. I’ve come to realize that we are each stronger – and I am stronger – when there are people in our lives that acknowledge and support our family’s journey. To that end, One Child strives to create a space that not only provides support for our children with Autism but also a place that cares for the entire family unit – one that considers the well-being of the parents and siblings. For if we do not also support the caregivers and the future caregivers we are doing a disservice to our families. My hope for One Child is that it will serve as an oasis, a place where children and families affected by Autism are given the tools and support to more easily conduct their lives.
One Child is steered by a vision of hope and acceptance. We understand that there are many divisive issues surrounding Autism but we believe that the differences do not and should not alienate us from others affected by Autism. Our differences should not prevent us from working to create a central place where families affected by Autism can embrace their journey out of the desert, find respite, and create hope. more>
