Autism Resources in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Virginia Beach is the largest city in Virginia and anchors the southern side of Hampton Roads — a densely populated region that shares its autism services across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and the Peninsula. The region's diagnostic and specialty-care hub is Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk, a short drive away. This guide walks through what's available to Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads families: diagnosis, therapy, schools, sensory-friendly activities, and how Virginia's funding programs work.
