CANCALLED: Playhouse Pals: Friends

We are combining Playhouse Pals and Kid’s Club to work on social skills. This month we will be talking about friends!

Playhouse Pals supports the therapeutic-based development of individuals with Down syndrome, with goals of achieving the following:

• Increase social skills, with focus on group participation and increasing leisure activity options.
• Increase language development, with focus on vocabulary development, receptive language skills such as following directions and answering basic questions and promoting successful interaction with peers.
• Increase gross motor skills, with focus on general health, strength, balance, and utilizing motor skills to participate in educational, social, and leisure activities.
• Increase fine motor skills, with focus on self-help skills and independent work.

 In addition, the family will receive a Best of All book to build knowledge and:

• Understand the purpose behind all of GiGi’s Playhouse programs.
• Implement activities at home to build skills and increase language development.
