At GiGi’s Playhouse Syracuse, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to find their voice, build confidence, and feel heard. 🗣️💙

Our Amina Grace Speech & Language Program provides FREE, individualized speech therapy to individuals with Down syndrome of all ages, helping participants strengthen their communication skills and gain independence.

But don't just take our word for it! Here's what one of our amazing GiGi's moms had to say:

💬 “GiGi’s Playhouse speech program has been such a blessing for my son Tobias. Finding speech therapy for young adults in our area can be difficult due to long waitlists and high costs. I’m so grateful that GiGi’s offers this program free of charge, and especially thankful for volunteers like Lynn who work with Tobias. It warms my heart to see how it’s helping him to express himself, feel heard and understood. We are truly thankful for the support it provides.”💛

Stories like Tobias' remind us why access to FREE therapeutic programming is so important. Every session is an opportunity to build skills, celebrate progress, and create a brighter future!

💙 Thank you to our dedicated team and generous supporters who make moments like these possible! Check out our website for ways that you can support our Playhouse

💙💛GiGi’s Kitchen Teen! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

At GiGi’s Kitchen, we're cooking up more than just delicious meals! We're building friendships, confidence, independence, and lifelong skills. 💛

Our instructor shared this heartwarming moment from a recent session:
“While completing the last task of the night, Piper needed help spelling ‘yummy’ (what she thought of the sub in a tub) and Christian helped her to spell it correctly. Piper said ‘thank you so much’ and Christian said ‘you’re welcome!’ and then they ended the conversation with a hug 😊”

🥹💙 It's the little moments like these that make the biggest impact!

GiGi’s Kitchen Teen isn't just about learning to cook. It's about teamwork, communication, kindness, and creating meaningful connections along the way.

Our programs are always FREE to join. Visit our website to sign up
