1 in every 6 children is diagnosed with a developmental disability.

Our organization offers regular opportunities for children with special needs and their families to develop and practice social skills. By joining us, you're becoming part of a supportive community that values the potential in every child.

We recently celebrated our Valentine's Day Jam!

Social Groups

High-Five Society holds monthly social events that we strive to keep free or affordable for everyone. We are the only social group in Polk County that meets regularly for our special friends and their families!

 

In our social groups, we encourage individual interaction so that they can experience and learn crucial peer socialization skills that they will utilize throughout life.

Countless friendships have been formed through High-Five Society’s monthly meet-ups, and now these friendships will be with these individuals for the rest of their lives and have a positive lasting effect.

Parent Support

We have had so many wonderful connections made in our parent support group! Parents can connect, share their experiences, and offer support to one another. It’s been incredibly helpful for parents to have a space where they can open up, seek advice, and exchange resources.

If any parents are looking for personal support, they can ask to be connected with a supporting parent. This one-on-one interaction can provide a more intimate and tailored experience for those who may prefer it.

High-Five Society in action!
Words from our families:

"High-Five Society has improved the social lives of not only my daughter, Juliann, but also myself and her brother, who is also a volunteer for High-Five Society. Juliann loves coming to High-Five Society events, and she screams and cries when it is time to go home because she always has a great time. Volunteering for High-Five Society has allowed not only Juliann but also myself to make new friends and allows me to help in the community, which I really enjoy doing. Juliann's favorite thing about High-Five Society is being able to be herself and be free without any judgment from the real world. Juliann loves playing at the park, and she loves the snacks and treats as well. High-Five Society is like a family; everyone understands your daily struggles with everyday life."

Sundee, Parent
