Individuals with Down syndrome experience challenges with the development of speech and language and motor skills. GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse is a network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers that offer lifetime support from prenatal diagnosis through adulthood. Because of the generosity of both supporters and a large team of volunteers, all GiGi&#8217;s programs are provided FREE of charge to participants. GiGi&#8217;s purposeful, individual, and group programs use a holistic approach, targeting all areas of development. <\/p>\n<p>We continue to think creatively about how we can best serve our community both virtually and in-person on a local and national level. Thanks to the ongoing support of our volunteers, community, and playhouse families we can continue make meaningful connections and offer our always free, educational, therapeutic and career development programming.
