SNACK & Friends Activities for all abilities

The mission of SNACK* is to enrich the lives of children, teens, and young adults by providing diverse classes and activities designed so everyone has the opportunity to make progress at their own pace. We offer opportunities to make friends, have fun, learn skills, work and participate in activities that ensure participant well-being so they may lead more independent, purposeful lives. From humbl

e beginnings as an after-school program for a half-dozen children, we have seen incredible growth and our programming has expanded. SNACK* was founded by a family with two sons - one with severe autism and one typically developing - with the goal to create a place where they could both feel welcome and thrive.

Hitting all the right notes! 🎶🎹

Music at SNACK* isn’t just about learning an instrument. It’s about confidence, focus, and finding new ways to express ourselves.

From creative arts to adaptive sports and vocational skills, we are dedicated to providing supportive, enriching programs for individuals of all abilities.

Twenty four years ago I started SNACK because there were almost no real options for people like my son to find community after school. Today we run weekly classes for hundreds of families across NYC.

This September, I'm honored to be sharing that story at the 3rd Annual Luv Michael Conference — Chapter Three: Setting Up for Success — in Southampton, NY. I'll be talking about what three decades of community classes have taught us, what advocacy actually looks like when it has to outlast a parent's lifespan, and what we're building next.

📅 Monday, September 14, 2026 · 9 AM – 3 PM
📍 The Muses, Southampton, NY
