 What
started as a local Playhouse in
a suburb of Chicago has turned
into an international
phenomenon, spreading awareness
and inspiration to everyone it
touches.
GiGi's Playhouses are Down
syndrome awareness and
educational centers that provide
resources, specialized teaching,
and support to individuals with
Down syndrome and all the people
that love them!
 GiGi's
Playhouse centers evolved into
educational centers with a focus
on National awareness for Down
syndrome. All of our programs
are free to our families and are
therapeutic in nature. Each of
them are designed to work on
specific skill development in
several areas including speech
and language, social
development, and fine and gross
motor skills. Our literacy
program alone teaches thousands
of kids with Down syndrome to
read around the nation! The
newest awareness project is our
"i have a voice" campaign which
seeks to change outdated
perceptions and replace those
images with beautiful, thought
provoking, intelligent images.
 In just 5 years, 5 Playhouses
have opened! There are GiGi's
Playhouses opening on the West
coast, East coast and more in
the Midwest! GiGi's is committed
to the important mission of
spreading positive and accurate
information about Down syndrome
through education.
We know that
by
helping individuals with Down
syndrome reach their highest
potential, we can change
outdated perceptions that people
may have. The end result is a
world that is empowered with
knowledge, compassion, and
inspiration - what a better
place for all of us! |
