A PROGRAM THAT UNDERSTANDS
At Valley Socials we understand individuals with special needs have a desire to be involved in the community with there peers and enjoy an active social life. Our mission is to help many individuals with special needs overcome their social engagement challenges to help them live better and more active social lives.
Our program provides lasting results because we don’t simply work with a child’s strengths or compensate for a weakness, but we tackle the root cause of the issues by supervising social groups and having them actively participate in social activities. We do this by encouraging proper etiquette and appropriate social interactions in public. We give an individualized curriculum to each participant so they make advances in social skills. The results have been outstanding! Our participants have made significant advances in public social skills, interpersonal skills with peers and navigating the community successfully.
SUPERVISED SOCIAL GROUP
Valley Socials is a Non-profit, supervised social group for older teens and adults with special needs to participate in activities and fun outings into the community. Some of the activities that participants can select to join will be miniature golfing, bowling, the beach, movies, hikes, sporting events, restaurants, Universal Studios, museums, and more.
Community Awareness Certification
Valley Socials outreach to local businesses is to create an awareness of the how we can all help our community. If you are a local business that wants to help your employees expand their customer awareness skills, we offer our awareness program.

Payments & Refunds
Payment Policy & Refund Requests
Participants may choose as many activities as they want each month. You may choose one or many events, it’s up to you! Please pick the activities for the month and pay by credit card. The activities change each month. If something happens and you can’t make it to an event, please contact me 2 business days before the event (Monday-Friday) and I can help you arrange to Rollover or Transfer the fees to another activity. There is no charge for a Rollover or Transfer. If you just can’t attend events and don’t want to transfer to another future activity, there is a $5.00 Administration fee added to the Refunds. I need an email, text or phone call from you if you want any changes. Valley Socials would like to schedule enough participants for events so we have enough people for socializing. We also will have a waiting list, so we need to be fair so everyone can have the opportunity to participate.
Another reason that Valley Socials will handle Transfers (Rollovers) is to allow other participants (on the waiting list) know that there is a new opening on the schedule.
