Welcome to Extra One! We are a group of parents, siblings, caregivers and friends of persons with Down Syndrome (Down's Syndrome).

Our purpose is to advocate for and promote acceptance of persons with Down Syndrome; and support for the people around them. There are so many questions, and no one person has all the the answers; but together we can build a better, more aware community - one special chromosome at a time.

People with Down syndrome are NOT all the same.​

They have different personalities, interests, talents, and goals.​
..Just like anyone else.​

At GiGi's Playhouse, our free programs meet every individual where they are, because there is no "one size fits all" path to success.​
