The VT Supporting Autism Friendly Environments (SAFE) Program, the VT Autism Clinic & Center for Autism Research (VTAC/CAR), and the VT Women's Basketball team are collaborating on our second Autism friendly basketball event!

This game, against UNC Asheville at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11, will involve special sensory cues, lowered music volume, and a SAFE space for people to visit and take a break from the action.

Read an overview of the team's season here. Learn more about Elizabeth Kitley (#33) and her autistic sister Raven here.

Virginia Tech faculty and staff members will receive free admission to the game! Claim your ticket at the ticket window the day of the game by showing your Hokie Passport.
