As we head into 2021,\u00a0the future looks bright. Amazing. And better than ever. We\u2019re ready to leave 2020 in the past and forge ahead with a renewed sense of hope and optimism.<\/p>\nAs we head into 2021,\u00a0the future looks bright. Amazing. And better than ever. We\u2019re ready to leave 2020 in the past and forge ahead with a renewed sense of hope and optimism.<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t just apply to the end of COVID-19. This also applies to\u00a0the bright future ahead for\u00a0kids with Down syndrome. That\u2019s why this year\u2019s theme is \u201cno limits.\u201d<\/p>\n
If you look back a few decades, there were few\u2014if any\u2014opportunities for people with Down syndrome. They were institutionalized and hidden away. Doctors dwelled on their learning issues, delays, medical problems and\u00a0limits. If they went to school, there were no resources, few teachers who believed in them and very little access to a fulfilling education. If they wanted a job, the outlook was bleak. Most companies wanted nothing to do with employing someone with Down syndrome.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to today and people with Down syndrome are everywhere. They\u2019re running businesses, they\u2019re actors, they\u2019re models, they\u2019re getting married, they\u2019re doing\u00a0Ironmans. People with Down syndrome have proven their abilities, value and worth. There are truly\u00a0no limits\u00a0when it comes to what people with Down syndrome can and will accomplish.<\/p>\n
GiGi\u2019s\u00a0Playhouse was built on this belief. From the very beginning,\u00a0GiGi\u2019s\u00a0Playhouse was in business because they knew that people with Down syndrome are capable\u2014that they really have no limits.<\/p>\n
Although society has limited opportunities for people with Down syndrome,\u00a0GiGi\u2019s\u00a0Playhouse does the opposite. They see the potential in each child and adult with Down syndrome, and they help them reach it. Although families of people with Down syndrome may have been limited by their ability to pay for therapies or classes in the past,\u00a0GiGi\u2019s\u00a0Playhouse combats this by offering\u00a0free\u00a0programs for everyone.\u00a0They do this simply because they believe in the abilities of each person with Down syndrome.<\/p>\n
At\u00a0GiGi\u2019s\u00a0Playhouse, we know that there are no limits to what people with Down syndrome can become. When you walk inside\u00a0our doors, barriers are removed\u2014and\u00a0all that\u2019s left are people who believe in every person with Down syndrome. With an attitude like that, the potential is unlimited. And it\u2019s clear that people with Down syndrome really do have\u00a0no limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
