Our Mission

Rock Bridge Family Services is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization committed to improving the lives of families within our community by assisting those impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorders. We will strive to provide Family Services, Education, and Residential Care for adolescent boys in a Group Home setting. 

Our Vision

Rock Bridge Family Services strive to create a community where people within the autism spectrum and their families can:

• Live with and receive respect, services, and support based on individual differences, needs, and preferences;
• Enable individuals with autism to function as meaningfully and as independently as possible in the community;
• Provide exemplary service throughout Rockbridge County to individuals with autism and their families.

Who We Are

We are the parents, family, and friends of children and adults with ASD, and the professionals who serve them. Our ministry will provide necessary resources for those affected by ASD, and a group home setting to grow an autistic teenage boy with a focus on therapy, counseling, growth, vocational training, programs, and support groups that are always open to the general public.
