AUTISM SOCIETY of TIDEWATER VIRGINIA PENINSULA GROUP
DIRECTORY OF AUTISM RELATED SERVICES ON THE
VIRGINIA PENINSULA AND SURROUNDING AREA
(updated 22 September 2014)
As a reminder, the contacts listed in this directory are not the only contacts in Hampton
Roads that can help your family. They are also not guaranteed to be able to help every family
that they see. Since each child with autism is different, it is up to each parent to determine the
best team of professionals to help their child. Not every contact in this list gave explicit consent
to be included and reference to a contact is not an endorsement. This list is not all inclusive.
Please contact us to make any corrections or to be added as a resource.

Young Life Capernaum is a ministry that reaches out to middle and high school aged kids with disabilities
ranging from ages 14-22. We build relationships and friendships with kids and are able to experience
life and create memories with them. We currently have Young Life Capernaum clubs at Princess Anne
High School, Ocean Lakes High School, and Oscar Smith High School. We hope to reach out and start
more Young Life Capernaum clubs in other local high schools and middle schools in the future. Young
Life Capernaum Club is where kids with disabilities get the chance to sing, dance, play games, laugh,
have fun, and hear about the incredible person of Jesus. We love to get to know one another through
talking over pizza, or being crazy out on the dance floor. No matter what, we want EVERYONE who
comes to a Young Life Capernaum club to feel loved, valued, and reminded about how deeply God loves
them.
