Description
GiGi's Playhouses are Down syndrome achievement centers that provide resources, specialized teaching, and support to individuals with Down syndrome, their famil ies and the community. All of our programs are free to our families, are therapeutic in nature, and range in age from pre-natal diagnosis through adulthood. With multiple locations across the country, we seek to increase positive awareness of Down syndrome through national campaigns, educational programs, and by empowering individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the community. We know that by helping individuals with Down syndrome reach their highest potential, we can change outdated perceptions that people may have.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!
