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.

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.
