Autism Resources in Norfolk, Virginia

A guide for Hampton Roads families navigating diagnosis, therapy, school, and support — for kids, teens, and autistic adults.

If you are searching for autism resources in Norfolk, you are probably trying to figure out one of a few things: where to get your child evaluated, which therapies make sense and how to pay for them, how local schools handle autism, or what exists for autistic teens and adults here in Hampton Roads.

This page is for parents and caregivers across South Hampton Roads — Norfolk proper, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and the surrounding communities — as well as autistic adults looking for local services and connection. Norfolk is the region's pediatric hub, home to CHKD.
