Socialization Groups: Happy Hour 4 Kids Socialization Groups were created to serve the individual needs of children that have difficulty socializing appropriately with their peers. “The Steffanies” (founders of Happy Hour 4 Kids) , as professionals in the field of special needs, found a great need for a place in which children could get the individualized attention within a group setting to work on these skills, so in 2003 “the Steffanies” created the first socialization groups in Manhattan.

The children are placed in small groups throughout the day for various activities. These groups are created based on each child and the skill sets he/she is working on. The curriculum is developed to meet the individual needs of each child and is based on our social skills program used throughout the school year.
