Discover Teen Tastic at GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans: Building Social Skills in a Fun Setting

At GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with Down syndrome through innovative programs that foster development and celebrate achievements. We are excited to introduce our Teen Tastic program, designed to build social skills through engaging and team-based activities. This program is perfect for teens looking to improve their social interactions in a casual and enjoyable environment.

The Power of Social Skills

Teen Tastic is more than just a social group; it’s a dynamic experience where teens can build essential social skills while having fun with friends, both with and without Down syndrome. Our program focuses on developing crucial abilities such as understanding compromise, turn-taking, and problem-solving through team-based activities.

  • Understanding Compromise: Learning to navigate different perspectives and reach mutual agreements.
  • Turn-Taking: Engaging in activities that require patience and the ability to wait for one’s turn.
  • Problem-Solving: Participating in tasks that challenge teens to think critically and find solutions collaboratively.

Join Us for Teen Tastic

We look forward to welcoming more teens to join us at Teen Tastic! This program is not just beneficial for the participants but also provides a supportive community for parents. Watching your teen develop and share experiences with other families can be incredibly rewarding.
